As far as I know, this is the only commercial recording with Boulez conducting Ferneyhough's music:


Funerailles is given here in both "versions," so you can hear two takes on similar ideas in short succession. I'm no expert in Ferneyhough's music, but this piece seems far less densely packed than his usual. A lot of frenzied activity, for sure, but also lots of musical "space," and some fine writing for harp.
"l do not consider my music as atonal, but rather as non-tonal. I feel the unity of all keys. Atonal music by modern composers admits of no key at all, no feeling of any definite center." - Arnold Schoenberg

I found that one a couple of weeks ago and listened to some of it.  Was the last syllable of his name is pronounced "hoe", and not "how"?

Yes. When I first came across Ferneyhough, I assumed Ferney-huff until somebody put me right.
