Biography
Boulez is also world-famous conductor, having directed most of the world’s leading symphony orchestras and ensembles since the late fifties. He served both as Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra from 1971-1975, and Music Director of the New York Philharmonic from 1971-1977. He is currently the Principal Guest Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Boulez is particularly famed for his polished interpretations of twentieth century classics - Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky, Leoš Janáček, Béla Bartók, Anton Webern and Edgard Varèse - as well as for numerous performances of contemporary music. Clarity, precision, rhythmic agility and a respect for the composers’ intentions as notated in the musical score are the hallmarks of his conducting style. He never uses a baton, conducting with his hands alone.

Listening to Piano Sonatas 1-3. God I haven't listen to any serialism in a while. Great way to start again.

Boulez as composer, a 111-track, 14 hour Spotify playlist, in reverse chronological order, including revised and original versions. From the 50-minute Dérive 2 (2006 version) to Notations for piano (1945). Happy 87th birthday! http://www.spotifyclassical.com/2012/03/pierre-boulez-as-composer-mahler.html

The 1993 version of ...explosante-fixe... is actually amazing. It's replaced Sur Incises as my favourite.

Pioneer of the post-baton genre.

I've been training my ears very hard to get into serialism. Finally after a year of attempts I can appreciate Le Marteau sans maitre. The ability to comprehend serialism gives some bizarre feelings.
