Fine little summary of spectralism, something I'm still trying to come to terms with myself. I could just *spit* that I missed a performance of works by Grisey, Claude Vivier and Ivan Fedele (that last one I've not heard of) last night here in NYC - I'd thought that it would give me greater insight into a style of music that would seem to have a greater impact live than on disc. Radalescu aside, there aren't very many discs of most of this stuff, anyway (though I've read great things about a new Grisey disc on the Kairos label).
However, I will say that an orchestral work I heard by Murail late last year was staggering. Reportedly a musical realization of a complex computerized interpretation of a photo of the ocean (!), the music did indeed sound like a 21st century 'La Mer' - not a bad thing in my book.

Actually, for this list, that's the ideal starting point, and I always take
it with me when I'm travelling as it is one of the few CDs I can listen to
