Originally posted by Joseph K View PostI listened to Sur Incises yesterday (not one of my favourite Boulez pieces).
Today it's Messagesquisse and Anthemes 2.
I like the original Anthèmes (Anthèmes I) more - partly because I’m more interested in solo music. Irvine Arditti made a fabulous recording of it. I remember thinking Messagesquisse is nice though.

Originally posted by Joseph K View PostEnjoying it. Not so much thinking about how Boulez interprets it - rather about Bruckner & how he's not really about melodies but rather texture, harmony and structure...
Not sure I have ever heard any Boulez Bruckner in fact. ( Probably have, but have lined this up for a play in any case, as I rather like #8.)I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

Originally posted by Bryn View PostBoulez Bruckner is as rare as hens' teeth. His 8th is well worth hearing, though it has always confused me that Boulez, with his supposed respect for the composition, should have chosen to use the Haas which, for all the way it flows, is not a score approved by its named composer. It's something of a cut-and-paste job, restoring some sections which Bruckner chose to remove.
Rather a shame he didn't commit those to disc as well though I'm sure that the Austrian Radio (ORF) will have recordings stored in their vaults."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink

Now playing here: Brahms, Deutsches Requiem, the live 2008 recording conducted by JEG. Not much difference in interpretation between this and his earlier recording, although the liveness of it is certainly a plus, as are the two Schütz motets that open the programme. I would have liked the orchestra to be a bit more forward in the mix, but otherwise this is very fine indeed. I think I might just still prefer Herreweghe, but for some reason Qobuz misses out some of its tracks.
