Tempus Konnex olv. Pascal Gallois
Boulez, Harvey
With his infamous Second Piano Sonata, Pierre Boulez made an important contribution to the development of total serialism: a rigid compositional technique that many believe was more interesting on paper than in practice. With ‘Le Marteau sans maître’, Boulez overcame this discrepancy. The exotic timbre and the interplay between voice and flute in this also serial work articulate his exceptional imaginative power.
Highly complex compositional techniques also often lie behind the rich musical language of the British composer Jonathan Harvey – who spent a great deal of time in the IRCAM music laboratory that was co-founded by Boulez.
Two composers tailor-made for the young ensemble Tempus Konnex and conductor Pascal Gallois. With a pre-performance lecture, they will lift up your listening experience to a higher level.
