¡Bartok: Piano Concertos Nos.1, 2, & 3
¡Pierre Boulez (conductor)
Description
[Machine Translation] [In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the birth of Pierre Boulez (born on March 26, 1925), four new recordings by Boulez are released at once. These four recordings are a condensation of various aspects of Boulez, who has been active as a great composer, conductor, and educator from the latter half of the 20th century to the 21st century. This album contains all of Bartok's piano concertos, recorded by Boulez, who says, "In discussing the history of 20th century music, Bartok's works cannot be avoided. French composers have always respected the worldliness and universality of Hungarian composers," he says, "and Bartok was especially central to that. In this recording, Zimmermann and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (No. 1), Ansnes and the Berlin Philharmonic (No. 2), and Grimaud and the London Symphony Orchestra (No. 3), the worldliness and universality of Bartok's music is evident in the lineup of performers. Performed by Christian Zimmermann (piano) ( 1 ), Chicago Symphony Orchestra ( 1 ), Leif-Ove Ansnes (piano) ( 2 ), Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra ( 2 ), Helene Grimaud (piano) ( 3 ), London Symphony Orchestra ( 3 ), Conductor: Pierre Boulez Recorded: 2001 December 2001 Orchestra Hall, Chicago ( 1 ), February 2003 Philharmonie, Berlin ( 2 ), October 2004 Jerwood Hall, London ( 3 ) (digital recording) ( 4D audio recording )
