Ian Macmillan Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The death of Pierre Boulez, one of the 20th Century's most significant composer/conductors, occurred yesterday in Germany. News links are already appearing, including this in the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jan/06/pierre-boulez-classical-musics-maverick-dies-aged-90?CMP=share_btn_tw Edit: I should, of course, have mentioned that the Paris Opera Ballet's pre-Christmas programme (McGregor, Wheeldon, Bausch) was mounted as a tribute to Boulez. Jann Parry's review for DanceTabs is here, others may be found looking back in Links: http://dancetabs.com/2016/01/paris-opera-ballet-polyphonia-alea-sands-le-sacre-du-printemps-paris/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks Ian. I don't like his music but I very much like his conducting. RIP M. Boulez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Actually, I went to a concert which included some of his music - can't remember what now - and actually liked it. Agree about his conducting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
