A composer, orchestra founder and polemicist, omnipresent in the second half of the 20th century, Pierre Boulez remains famous principally as a conductor in the memory of the general public. It remains to be seen what history will remember him for. Will he be remembered primarily as a composer, like Gustav Mahler, will it be as a conductor, like Igor Markevitch, or will he be remembered for both roles like Leonard Bernstein? Today, Boulez's music is much less performed and recorded than that of his American colleagues; it is also much less accessible.
Passionate about contemporary music since starting his studies, clarinetist Jörg Widmann is also a much performed composer and has created many works for his own instrument, working with Pierre Boulez among others. In this album, which he dedicates to the French composer, accompanied by his violinist sister, Jörg Widmann performs Dialogue pour l’ombre double for clarinet and an electroacoustic device developed by IRCAM and produced on this recording by the SWR Experimentalstudio in Southern Germany. Dedicated to his friend Luciano Berio for his sixtieth birthday (1985), Boulez's work was inspired by the double shadow scene in Paul Claudel's Le Soulier de satin.
Ten years later, Boulez composed Anthèmes II, a new version of his solo violin work Anthèmes I. In this new interpretation, the work is twice as long and also uses a live electroacoustic device, played here by Caroline Widmann, which frames the clarinet piece with the two versions. © François Hudry/Qobuz
