Boulez Structures, Book II
One of 20th-century music’s definitive
voices and musical mavericks, Pierre Boulez
has been actively involved in composition,
conducting and music-making for over
60 years. His innovative approach to sound
and structure radically transformed the
landscape of modern music. A longtime
collaborator and close associate of
Boulez, Pierre-Laurent Aimard joins Tamara
Stefanovich in this intimate celebration of
the visionary composer’s keyboard works for
his 90th birthday.
