Pierre Boulez,The New Philharmonia Orchestra

Description:

[The 100 Best Classics (32)] This Debussy album was recorded between 1966 and 1968, with Boulez conducting the New Philharmonia Orchestra of the Klemperer era. In this album, Boulez reproduced the details of the orchestration with transparency and precision, and depicted the subtle changes in the accompaniment and rhythmic patterns with a clarity as if he had applied X-rays to the music. He pioneered a completely different interpretation of Debussy's music. The masterly appearance of Boulez in his later re-recordings for DG was different from that of Boulez in his prime, and his orientation toward precision, which was carried out with a cool-headed passion, has never been surpassed since this recording.
