Boulez meets Stravinsky

Pierre Boulez has set standards with his performances of the music of Stravinsky. In this concert, he pays double homage to his older colleague: firstly as the conductor of Stravinsky’s fairytale opera Le Rossignol, and secondly with his own composition ... explosante fixe ..., which he wrote in memory of Stravinsky. The evening’s soloists include flautist Emmanuel Pahud and the soprano Barbara Hannigan.
