Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A memorable artistic statement!
Pierre Boulez achieved a honor place in this decade (1972) when decided to record these memorable versions with the vibrant and expansive sound of the New York Philharmonic.

His incisive approach is part of the bitter dissonance contained in all these works. Special attention deserves the 4 Orchestral pieces (I still don't know about any other version capable to match with this one) ; The Miraculous Mandarin is just one step behind the unsurpassable version of Antal Dorati in the Sixties ( Mercury 434 362-2) that includes besides, Divertimento, sonata for two pianos and Percussion with BBC/LSD) .

To my view, one of his top five achievements of his musical career.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Bartok the Terrifying

It was supposed instead to be a pantomime about this Chinaman who got mugged by three crooks working together with a girl who was to bait him into their trap, except he ended up longing so greatly for her that he refused to die even when hanged, stabbed and ...
