On Sunday 23 March at 23:20, the documentary ‘Pierre Boulez – Der Weg ins Unbekannte’ will celebrate its TV premiere on ARTE.
To mark the 100th birthday of the composer and conductor Pierre Boulez (26 March 1925 – 5 January 2016), the film paints a portrait of a radical innovator who shaped the music of the 20th century like no other.
From his early provocations against the musical establishment to his role as a conductor and visionary: contemporary witnesses, companions and musicians – including Esa-Pekka Salonen, Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Christian Merlin – talk about Boulez’s legacy and his tireless drive to rethink music.
If you don’t want to wait that long, the film is already available in the ARTE media library.
