Pierre Boulez

The living legend: still innovative, radical and original. Pierre Boulez concludes his acclaimed Bartók Concertos project, which has received the highest accolades, with an album featuring the Viola Concerto, Violin Concerto no.1 and the Concerto for Two Pianos, Percussion and Orchestra

For this recording, Boulez has once again gathered an extraordinary team of musicians: Yuri Bashmet, Gidon Kremer, Pierre-Laurent Aimard – with his long-term recital partner Tamara Stefanovich – and two of the world’s most esteemed ensembles: the Berliner Philharmoniker and London Symphony Orchestra

DG is particularly delighted that its exclusive artist Pierre-Laurent Aimard teams up with Pierre Boulez, with whom he shares a strong artistic partnership. The combination of two such insightful musicians as Aimard and Boulez with one of the world’s great orchestras promises to be something very special

A recording that brings together some of the greatest musicians of the modern age in their admiration for the Hungarian master composer of the 20th century: Boulez’s Bartók cycle has all the ingredients to become the benchmark recording of this repertoire
