Music
A Lesson by Pierre Boulez
Boulez unravels secrets of music
With warmth, modesty and infectious enthusiasm, Grammy Award –winning conductor Pierre Boulez explains the hidden architecture of his most recent work, Sur Incises, to a non-specialised young audience in this captivating programme.
On a number of occasions, Boulez has shown that he can come up with the right words and gestures to throw a light on complex musical scores. Here he demonstrates his teaching talents in talking about his work as a composer: after conducting the nine soloists of the Ensemble Intercontemporain, who follow him with visible pleasure through the mysteries of a spectacular score, he offers a witty exposition of the musical movements that make up its construction.
