Concert
Pierre Boulez, a portrait
M. Barenboim, E. Moreau, B. Chamayou
In honour of Pierre Boulez, the composer and conductor, leader of the post-1945 avant-garde who passed away on January 5, 2016, Aix Easter Festival have asked a range of young talents to defend his music which marked its time and has slowly but surely become a milestone in the artistic history of the 20th century.
The piano virtuoso Bertrand Chamayou will bring us into the luxuriant world of Incises , a swift piece, the best moments of which are reminiscent of the frantic agitation of a free-jazz chorus.
The solo violin of Anthèmes 2 (1991-1997) will be played by Michael Barenboim and finally, the young cellist Edgar Moreau will light up the work of Matthias Pintscher who takes on Boulez, though born a half a century later.
