Pierre Boulez: Dialogues

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
KURZBESCHREIBUNG
A new recording of the carefully refined, endlessly revised oeuvre of Pierre Boulez is always worth celebrating, but this one stems from a source hitherto unknown in the composer's own instrumentarium: the recorder. In 2011 Boulez granted special permission to the Dutch recorder virtuoso Erik Bosgraaf to make his own transcription of the spectral adventure in musical space that is Dialogue de l'ombre double, originally composed for clarinet (and pre-recorded/live electronics). A later piece along similar lines, Anthèmes II for violin has become better known, but Dialogue weaves it's own theatrical magic.

REZENSION
Balance between recorders and electronics is ideally judged, giving this music and immediacy yet also intimacy beyond that of any other recorded option…If, in the final analysis, this is msuci needing to be experienced in real-time (though headphones provide a plausible alternative), hearing it through the remove of speakers does not render the result much less arresting or evocative. That in itself says much for the excellence of the sound as recorded here, setting the seal on a successful artistic venture and a most worthwhile release --Gramophone July 2015
