Concert

Lehrbauhof Salzburg

Pierre Boulez was an explosive force in European music, a master of creative destruction who detonated assumptions and traditions in order to build – and imagine – anew. True to form, this 1992 Salzburg Festival concert finds him not in one of the classic Festival venues but in the modern industrial space of the Lehrbauhof. Here, he deploys the full electronic resources of his Paris-based IRCAM in near-definitive performances of one of his most austere mature works – Dialogue de l'ombre double (with clarinettist Alain Damiens) – and one of his most dynamic: the 1985 ensemble masterpiece Répons. A giant of contemporary music, in his element.
