Program

Pierre Boulez
Polyphonie X
pour dix-huit instruments
With  Ensemble intercontemporain
Pierre-André Valade , conducting
And  Claude Abromont , presentation

Composed by Pierre Boulez at age 26, Polyphonie X caused a riot when it premiered at the Donaueschingen Festival in 1951, deemed radical and later withdrawn by the composer. Today, we rediscover the visionary dimension of this little-known score.
