Pierre Boulez has already left an indelible imprint on the international music scene, not only as a composer and conductor but also as a music philosopher and teacher. This documentary, a homage on the occasion of his 85th birthday, shows his invaluable nurturing of young musicians as they come together during the summer for intensive rehearsal weeks. Adopting the perspective both of Pierre Boulez and of the students, the film conveys an infectious enthusiasm for contemporary music, a determination on the part of everybody to do it justice, and a wonderful insight into the legacy that Pierre Boulez passes on to the next generation.
Pierre Boulez celebrated his 85th birthday on 26th March 2010. This documentary adopts the perspective of the Lucerne participants to explain why the summer academy is so special. It is stamped with the personality of its founder, Pierre Boulez, who has uniquely influenced the development of new music since the War.
Lucerne Festival Academy offers an opportunity to observe Boulez’ methods and examine his thoughts on music.
Bonus: a complete Concert of Debussy’s Jeux and Boulez’ own Notations & Répons recorded live at the KKL Lucerne, September 2009.
