A cube with striking images of Boulez taken by French photographer Philippe Gontier Sleeves featuring photographs of the composers New booklet text by Wolfgang Sthr a handsome tribute to one of the most iconic musicians of our time. On 26 March 2015 Pierre Boulez reaches his ninetieth year. This great master of music composer, conductor and writer has been an exclusive artist with Deutsche Grammophon for over 20 years: his recording legacy with the label is immense. We celebrate his birthday with a 44-CD box set of his complete DG 20th century music recordings an aspect of his work that lies at the heart of his achievement. COMPOSER OVERVIEW 1 8 Bartk 9 12 Berg 13 14 Birtwistle 15 19 Boulez 20 21 Debussy 22 23 Ligeti 24 25 Messiaen 26 29 Ravel 30 33 Schoenberg 34 39 Stravinsky 40 Szymanowski 41 Varse 42 44 Webern Homage to Pierre Boulez: drawing on his three- or even fourfold authority as a composer, conductor, teacher and essayist, the French musician, who was born in 1925, has undertaken far-reaching reforms of international concert life, while exerting an influence on the repertory that has both pointed the way forward for others and proved stylistically determinative and left a lasting mark on programming policies, on orchestral culture and, last but not least, on the way that leading conductors see themselves. There is a whole generation of us who were completely educated by Boulez, Sir Simon Rattle told Nicholas Kenyon, echoing the view of many, if not most, of his contemporaries. His complete lack of the maestro ethic is utterly irresistible. Of course, Boulez has always had to contend with the reproach that he is above all a cool intellectual and a sober analyst, and yet it is a criticism that Boulez himself knows how to refute in a way that is as elegant as it is witty: Analysis is merely a preliminary stage, a preparation, he explains. An interpretation is not a demonstration. I don't demonstrate vacuum cleaners. You first have to have clear ideas. After that you can be spontaneous. True spontaneity comes only after analysis. Wolfgang Sthr.
