100 - Anniversary Celebration for Pierre Boulez

The art of freedom

What does Maurice Ravel have in common with Pierre Boulez? A commitment to "absolute music." This idea of a pure musical composition, postulated by Ludwig Tieck as early as 1799, inspired Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms as well as Maurice Ravel and Pierre Boulez. Each composer devised new rules with the goal of liberating tones. Ravel’s chorus in Daphnis et Chloé sings only vocalises without words. Pierre Boulez took the liberty of fine-tuning his works over time. In two premieres, composers Mark Andre and Enno Poppe pay tribute to the power of absolute music.
