  • Pierre Boulez was one of the most radical composers of our time. Director Reiner Moritz, who worked closely with Boulez time and again through the years and almost had a friendly relationship with the composer, tries to get as close to the real Boulez as one can possibly get in this documentary.

    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 original film on the DVD lasts 93 minutes, so it is much longer.

    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.

      You think wrong. Boulez is far from forgotten.

    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.

    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

      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.

    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…
