CD Reviews

A memorable artistic statement!

Hiram Gomez Pardo | Valencia, Venezuela | 12/07/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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.
