Regarding Foucault being the lover: http://www.newcriterion.com/archive/11/mar93/foucault.htm Seems to be right. -- JeLuF 00:08, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] a few points

au dela du hasard is part of the death of virgil.

Nietsche should be Nietzsche.

i believe the apartment fire was in late 1968. either in the fire or in the process of relocating, he lost the dossier for a work that seems to have been nearly complete: portiques du feu (the gates of hell), a choral work that was part of the death of virgil.

barraque might not have destroyed all or most of his early works, as griffiths' book suggests. it is true that he did not "acknowledge" any of them before the sonata.

i believe that barraque also did not acknowledge, or disavowed, his electronic etude, considering only his six major scores to belong to his true oeuvre.

a few opinions:

the cpo recordings by klangforum are not so "fine." aside from several sonata recordings, not including the one in the cpo set, there are no outstandingly good recordings of barraque's works that are commercially available.

the more excessive claims that have been made for barraque are not in my view excessive.

boulez is a much-overrated composer, and he has done much to bring this about.

barraque's relative obscurity is due in part to the lack of good recordings and frequent performances of high quality, and due in substantial part to boulez's influence and position in the industry.
