  • Que le public ...

    Que le public rejette de façon aussi unanime la "musique" de Boulez pourrait le rendre plutôt sympathique ! Mais ce n'est pas le cas. En effet, il ne faut pas oublier ses autres "oeuvres" que sont l'IRCAM et l'Ensemble Intercontemporain, furoncles qui coûtent cher au contribuable parisien mais sont totalement inutiles, hormis pour recaser les potes du "compositeur officiel". Espérons qu'après le décès du Grand Protecteur Chirac, la Cour des Comptes épinglera ces scandales et qu'on y mettra fin.

    Ce commentaire en dit long sur la musicologie en France. Vraiment incroyable d'entendre de pareil non-argments sur un chef d'œuvre de la musique à ce niveau d'études.

  • This performance is ...

    This performance is much better than the other one. The instruments are better balanced and everything is so much clearer. The other one is shapeless compared with this.

    I also like this better than both Boulez' Sony recording and a TV performance he did 20 years ago.

    I add also:
    We should analyze society through music more.
    And not only analyze music...that is a problem.
    Everything we cant connect to the rest, think about...

  • I agree it is a " ...

    I agree it is a "great version", I am myself a musician, and I know the very score of it. Nevertheless this fashion fo making music, with no space for natural chance, openings to other ways of seeing the Word and the Human, out of a Cartesian system, is a big limit for our western culture...
    The leading itself it is quite out of fashion concept, and if used, it is already of another kind...
    Pyramid structure is governing our word, but should be different, and you know that... you use Youtube!

  • Actually, you ...

    Actually, you should see/hear the other versions. The precision of Boulez is the key to the understangind of the piece... and also what makes this version one of the only excellent versions. Comment from a musical analysis student.

  • Varese was great- ...

    Varese was great- Boules and his "slaves" look quite terrifing:
    all is too clean, pseudo-fascist-post-modern, Pierre looks like a possible Europeas Right-wing President, Scary indeed!!!

  • This is a very good ...

    This is a very good performance of Ionisation, and I've heard quite a few of them. The only one I know of that's this good or maybe even a little better :-) is mine, to which I invite your attention. Click on the URL link in my profile and check out my version. But Boulez really nails it here. I think I heard a recording of Ionisation he did with the percussion section from the NY Philharmonic some years ago.

    I've never really listened to this sort of music. My guitar teacher said I should check Edgar Varese out.
    This is really amazing.

  • I was being partly ...

    I was being partly serious. However, being a huge fan of Frank Zappa and therefore being aware of Monsieur Varese and his work,I agree it is interesting to watch people actually performing music which most people would still consider a cacophany (and almost certainly would never get a chance to hear other than on YouTube).

  • Maybe that's a bit ...

    Maybe that's a bit dismissive, if you are serious. I believe in this case, having orchestra specific video only helps aid in the understanding of his music, and helps people understand that it is a composition (don't laugh). And it helps to "preach" his music to those who aren't already "converted." Know what I mean?
