Concert recorded by France Musique, retransmission December 27, 20h

A concert with three new works and two early Schoenberg works conducted by Pierre Boulez. Six miniatures by Johannes-Maria Staud tracing the fantastic (or: visionary?) world of the artist Bruno Schulz. The prolific Jens Joneleit pursues his musical path, exerting powerful forces, bordering on experimentation. And Bruno Mantovani’s music, alive with tension, moving between saturation and contemplation.
