Orientations - Pierre Boulez
collected writings by Pierre Boulez
KORTE INHOUD
Pierre Boulez is arguably the single most influential - and perennially controversial - figure in the world of contemporary music. As composer, conductor and personality, his challenging views of modern developments are lent a special authority by his very high standing as an interpreter of great classic composers like Wagner, Debussy, and Stravinsky.
This new collection of his writings - the fullest to appear so far - will enhance his unrivalled reputation as a lucid and compelling expositor of the modern composer's world.

In the second group he offers highly original insights into those composers from Beethoven to Messiaen with whom he is particularly associated as a conductor, while in the third group he turns to personalities and institutions with whom he has been colsely involved, including the 'Domaine musical', the BBC Symphony Orches...
