I'm very much looking forward to a concert at the Disney Hall here in Los Angeles in February that comprises Boulez' amazing <I>Le Marteau sans Maitre</I> and Ligeti's wonderful <I>Chamber Concerto</I>. Not a hummable tune will be heard, just the way I like it! :-)<BR/><BR/>Mr. Boulez used to be a regular guest conductor here with the Philharmonic. Searing peformances of the Mahler 5th, <I>La Mer</I> and his own incredible <I>Notations</I> (the orchestral version) are still vivid in my memory.JeremyBenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10612110364376524671noreply@blogger.com
