2003 Europakonzert from Lisbon with Pierre Boulez and Maria João Pires
Pierre Boulez was an outstanding interpreter of Bartók and Ravel, making this film document of the 2003 Europakonzert with Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra and Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin all the more precious. This recording from the spectacularly beautiful Mosterio dos Jerónimos near Lisbon also provides the rare opportunity to experience Boulez conducting Mozart in the composer’s Piano Concerto No. 20, with Lisbon-born Maria João Pires as the soloist.
