My first wife and I were Pierre's family when he was director of the NY Philharmonic. Being with him was a time away from the challenges of his musical career. I enjoyed his humor and his intellect and his need for human contact that was not demanding or critical. We broke a lot of bread together at our house and at Le Poullailer.
The Mahler piece at 48:45 isn’t from Lieder eines Fahrenden Gesellen, it’s Des Antonius von Padua Fischpredigt (Saint Anthony’s Sermon to the Fish) from Des Knaben Wunderhorn.
Thanks for this documentary about Boulez sadly now a largely forgotten figure i think.Young musicians i know don't know or understand his music and are looking elsewhere for good contemporary music both in classical and jazz music.Sad but true.
A little-known petitesse: Boulez makes music with Lang Lang in Salzburg, - hard to believe, but true, as the excerpt from the 2006 programme shows: WOLFGANG A. MOZART Serenade für 12 Bläser und Kontrabass B-Dur KV 361 - „Gran Partita“ OLGA NEUWIRTH ...miramondo multiplo... für Trompete und Orchester Uraufführung - Auftragswerk der Salzburger Festspiele WOLFGANG A. MOZART Konzert für Klavier und Orchester G-Dur KV 453 INTERPRETEN Pierre Boulez, Dirigent Lang Lang, Klavier Håkan Hardenberger, Trompete Wiener Philharmoniker
47.22 You would have thought that by now she would know the basics of beating time. It makes you wonder how and why some people get selected to take part in these types of events
but today he would have to say "absolutely WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC, YOU ARE THE GREATEST HUMAN BEING ALIVE AND PLEASE SAVE THE PLANET FOR US". Also, his joke would have gotten him CANCELLED FOR LIFE. Plus he would be ARRESTED for TOUCHING her arm. It is the planet of the WOKE.
Actually, his main point is not the format of the beats but refraining from conducting sidewise. I found this on the only occasion I conducted an orchestra-- "expressive" pickups tended to get lost. Holding my elbow close to my body and making vertical beats brought much clarity.
Terrible documentary, tries to portray Boulez as a radical-composer, yet the whole documentary is filled with him conducting and talking about everything but his own works (a better title, how to appreciate and conduct Stravinsky, Berio, and Mahler) Says something about the true nature of his musical endeavors…
wow thanks for the incredibly valuable information. As you can see, there is a poll next to the video asking people about their preferences. Do you like oranges? It is part of the poll.

Bravo! An excellent documentary on a brilliant artist.
The original film on the DVD lasts 93 minutes, so it is much longer.
Merveilleux, extraordinaire ! Mille mercis pour cela.

You think wrong. Boulez is far from forgotten.

46:38 “I had the good fortune to pee two or three times at his glasses” 😂

I have double checked just to remind myself. She is pretty useless.

That is because literally noone wants to listen to his music
@@AndreyRubtsovRU Uneducated people with taste limitations don't want to listen to his music you're right
@@Alix777. Tale as old as time: when unable to provide counter-arguments attack the messenger, not the message.
I prefer Morton Feldman.

who cares about minor composers
Il savait au moins diriger un orchestre. Parce que pour le reste... Aie aie aie.
Ce commentaire est-il ironique, ou vous avez sincèrement la prétention d'écrire ce message de façon sérieuse?
Aie aie aie ?????
Qu'entendez vous par là?
