Florent Boffard: Beethoven/Berg/Boulez: - Florent Boffard [CD]

In the context of the first recording of Pierre Boulez's 'Antiphonie', Florent Boffard has assembled three composers' varying approaches to the emblematic musical form of the 'sonata'. A robust structure in Beethoven, it becomes an open, multiple form in its confrontation with Boulezian modernity. The juxtaposition of these three universes emphasises the timeless power of the musical utterance when genius imposes its style.
