Bruckner & Boulez

Monument of Romanticism

Pierre Boulez was famous for his precise "karate chop" when conducting. But what may have seemed a bit stiff to the audience was of considerable help to the instrumentalists: "He taught us the structure of every work very precisely," noted Emmanuel Pahud, principal flutist of the Berliner Philharmoniker. When Boulez was able to select the repertoire of the Wiener Philharmoniker, he chose Bruckner, whose Fourth Symphony, the ‘Romantic’, is heard in this concert. Before that, Boulez's most famous composition for large orchestra is on the programme: the ‘Notations’. They are centred around short piano pieces that Boulez composed as a young man and later ‘proliferated’ into lavish orchestral works. The highlight of the performance: before each of the five orchestral pieces, Pierre-Laurent Aimard plays the original version on the piano on stage.
