Chiefly known as a conductor (don't have anything by him, at least not ringing a bell ...) - he also tried his hand at composition.
While Lou Salome is somewhat known and has been recorded, as far as I can tell, the following have never been (unless there is a radio broadcast?) :
- Opus Ghimal for orchestra (1971),
- Symphonie imaginaire for choruses, 10 children's voices and three orchestras (1973)
- Requiem Hashshirim (1976)
- string quartet (1977)
If you know of an album with any of these, please notify. Just curious.

I only have
Lou Salome and am curious about his other works as well.
Sinopoli recorded excerpts from Lou Salome for DG, but unfortunately not the whole opera . I haven't heard this, and it's probably very hard to find, although you might try arkivmusic.com, by far the best place on the internet for classical CDs that are hard to find .
I think he originally set out to just be a composer, but then turned exclusively to conducting a bit later on - almost like Boulez looked like he was going to do for a while. I haven't heard any of his music though :(
