Pierre Boulez: Contract with Deutsche Grammophon extended
TobiasJanacek’s “From the House of the Dead”, after all, will be an audiovisual extravaganza and a renewed musical handshake between Pierre Boulez and French director Patrice Chéreau. Between 1976 and 1980, Boulez and Chéreau already collaborated on a – now classic – Ring at Bayreuth. At the “Wiener Festwochen” in May of this year, their version of “House of the Dead” was given its premiere, featuring the Mahler Chamber Orchestra as well as the Arnold Schoenberg Choir. While the stage design by Patrice Chéreau was reduced to a functional and sinister minimalism, Boulez’ sound for the recording has been described as “glassy and shimmering”. Completing the projected output for 2008 will be Bartok’s Concert for Two Pianos, which Pierre Boulez realised with Pierre-Laurent Aimard und Tamara Stefanovich and the LSO.
Pierre Boulez and the “Deutsche Grammophon” have been working together for a staggering seventeen years now.
