About

Pierre Boulez, who turns 85 in 2010, is especially famed for his polished interpretations of twentieth century classics in general, and Stravinsky in particular. Clarity, precision, rhythmic agility and a respect for the composers' intentions as notated in the musical score are the hallmarks of his conducting style.

This live performance of Stravinsky’s Firebird under the Pyramid of the Louvre Museum was the culminating point of a “Boulez cycle” at the Louvre - a rare and spectacular setting.

Recorded at the Musée du Louvre - Paris, 2 December 2008.

Bonus: Boulez’ introduction to Stravinsky’s Firebird, with live musical illustrations by the Orchestre de Paris and historical footage. A once in a lifetime opportunity to see music through the eyes of one of our most famous contemporary composers/conductors Pierre Boulez.
