The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden celebrates Pierre Boulez's 100th birthday with several concerts, including two of his "younger" works alongside Bruckner's last symphony. Boulez admired Bruckner, frequently conducting his works. "Figures – Doubles – Prismes" showcases variations and doublings of musical figures, culminating in a re-examination of the earlier work. Boulez also sets E. E. Cummings's poems to music, creating a unique blend of text and sound.
Anknüpfend an die Premiere von György Kurtágs Oper Fin de partie (nach dem Drama von Samuel Beckett), die im Januar 2025 in der Staatsoper Unter den Linden stattfindet, widmen sich Dirigent Finnegan Downie Dear und die Staatskapelle einem weiteren Werk dieses bedeutenden ungarischen Komponisten. In What is the word wird der gesamte Pierre Boulez Saal zur Spielfläche für diese faszinierende Komposition mit Worten Samuel Becketts von 1990/91. Eingerahmt wird das Werk mit Musik von Béla Bartók und Franz Schubert, die in besonderer Weise klassische Formen reflektieren. Schuberts 5. Sinfonie knüpft an die große Tradition der Wiener Klassik an.
A concert workshop in Freiburg's E-Werk will feature conductor Oscar Jockel explaining Pierre Boulez's "Polyphonie X" with the SWR Symphony Orchestra. This piece, a scandal at its 1951 premiere, connects Boulez's early and later styles. Following the analysis and full performance, the concert includes Webern's arrangement of Bach's "Fuga Ricerata" and Webern's Symphony Op. 21, highlighting polyphony and musical development, both crucial to Boulez's work. A second performance of "Polyphonie X" concludes the evening.
Musicologist Professor Jonathan Cross talks to Dame Gillian Moore – a lifelong advocate for Boulez’s music – about his creative and cultural legacy.
