About

Pierre Boulez, renowned for championing the most daring music of the 20th century, leads this 2003 Tokyo concert, played in the presence of Japan’s Emperor and Empress. Schoenberg’s Pelleas and Melisande could have received no treatment more royal than Boulez gives it at Suntory Hall with the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.

The Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra was founded by Claudio Abbado to give young musicians the chance to work with established conductors and soloists. Based in Vienna, they tour during the Easter and summer seasons. Boulez has toured with the orchestra four times. The present recording is testimony to Boulez’s esteem for this band.

The Guardian observed: “For a quarter of a century now Boulez’s performances of all the modernists have set benchmarks . . . he remains unrivalled in the works of the Second Viennese School, and in Schoenberg in particular.
