Record Label: Erato
Release Date: March 2, 2015
Exploring twentieth century repertoire — both acknowledged masterpieces and new discoveries — this 14-disc anthology reflects the diverse aesthetic strands of Pierre Boulez’s programming over the course of his groundbreaking and influential career. These Erato recordings, made between 1966 and 1992, feature composers otherwise absent from Boulez’s discography — Xenakis, Donatoni, Grisey, Dufourt, Ferneyhough, Harvey and Höller — and the first CD release interpretation of Stravinsky’s incantatory “Les Soucoupes” in the version for female voices and four horns.
