Claude Vivier - Trois airs pour un opéra imaginaire (1982)
0:00 First Air. A lament in German and imaginary language among a hypnotizing flurry of orchestra arpeggios (Where is love) 3:45 (A beautifully eerie spectral sequence) 4:17 Second Air. A homophonic spectral chorale, gradually breaks apart into counterpoint 6:47 A thin bittersweet texture (the blending of voice and clarinet is so good), as the orchestra move in independent tempos towards the high register 8:28 Third Air. A harsh return to homophony, moving towards a sound/noise from the whole ensemble
