Pierre Boulez: The Rite of Boulez | A Short Portrait - Episode 3

Описание: “Le Sacre du printemps” was a work that Boulez became especially famous and acclaimed for. Owing to Boulez's insistence on total accuracy and observance of Stravinsky’s markings, the 1913-work has become a hallmark of his international conducting career. In this episode, Boulez discusses his early experiences learning this piece's complicated rhythm and how he applies that to his interpretation. Andrew Marriner, London Symphony Orchestra’s former long-time principal clarinetist, also lends his voice in this episode as he recalls the rehearsal of "Le sacre" and "Pli selon Pli" under the (invisible) baton of Boulez.

On this day (5 January), 7 years ago, we lost a Renaissance figure in the history of classical music. To commemorate Pierre Boulez and his panoramically wide influence, DG presents "Pierre Boulez: A Short Portrait" - a video-podcast series with five stunningly visualised episodes that revive the legacy of Pierre Boulez, introducing not only his musical ideology and inspiration as spoken by Boulez himself, but also feature rare TV footage from the 90s, as well as exclusive interviews with Boulez. The voice-over is produced and narrated by Jon Tolansky and accompanied by commentaries by fellow musician Andrew Marriner (LSO’s former principal clarinetist).
