There were several messages about using synthesizers in the classical
field. Well, Messiaen, Milhaud and Charpentier (Jacques) wrote works
for Ondes Martenot and piano/percussion. Specialy the work by
Messiaen for a sextet of Ondes Martenots is very interesting. It's
not really 'synthesizer', but hey.... There is at least one concert
for synthesizer and orchestra, but I forgot who wrote it. I will look
into it.
BTW two other interesting non-classical albums are the music which
was used for the BBC serie 'The Celts' by Ennia (not quite the Ennia
you know! According to the booklet entirely non-Moog) and 'The First
Seven Days' by Jan Hammer (∗very∗ interesting!). If anyone knows
where I can get this on CD, please let me know. I now only have a few
tracks on a compilation CD called 'The Early Years'.
