Prom 65 - Pierre Boulez, Bela Bartok and Elliott Carter
Work:: Prom 65 (S6002)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: Pierre Boulez, Bela Bartok and Elliott Carter (T0544140653)
The Ensemble Intercontemporain commemorates the late Pierre Boulez - composer, conductor, polemicist and founder of the ensemble - with a programme of pieces he conducted during more than 40 years of appearances at the Proms. His Anth?mes 2, for violin and electronics, contrasts with the exuberant vocal setting of avian poetry by E. E. Cummings, performed by the BBC Singers. Around these come Bart?k's earthy Village Scenes and Elliott Carter's Penthode - written for tonight's ensemble - a slow movement of geological power that has been compared to the steady glide of tectonic plates.
