Celebrations for Pierre Boulez鈥檚 90th-birthday year reach a climax in this matinee performance, in which contemporary music specialists the London Sinfonietta pair Boulez鈥檚 own music with that of young British composers Helen Grime and Christian Mason. Pierre Boulez鈥檚 惭茅尘辞谤颈补濒别 puts the flute in the spotlight, showcasing minutiae of texture and articulation, while in Domaines it鈥檚 a solo clarinet that gives out a sustained soliloquy. The two contrasting parts of 脡肠濒补迟/惭耻濒迟颈辫濒别蝉 (1970) are theoretically part of a larger work, as yet unfinished by the composer. They make for a striking contrast: the brilliant, glittering colours of 脡clat set against the nervy perpetual motion of Multiples.
