Pierre Boulez: Sensual intellectualism

Available for 25 days

Kate Molleson and Gillian Moore conclude their landmark series exploring the pivotal 'modern' musical works of the 20th Century, the groundbreaking composers who created them, and the radical cultural and artistic movements which gave rise to them. In this final show, they share highlights from the series and pay tribute to some of the composers who they haven’t had the chance to feature. Their primary work for this last dive into the radical sounds of the previous century is one of its landmark works, the piece which placed Pierre Boulez at the vanguard of mid-century modernism: Le marteau sans maître. Produced by Sam Phillips A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 To listen on most smart speakers, just say “ask BBC Sounds to play 20th Century Radicals”.
