Reply To: Box sets
My latest box set is this:
It’s 12 discs of the music of Pierre Boulez plus one disc with an interview. Perhaps I am strange, could be, but I really enjoy quite a bit of Boulez’ compositions. When I first encountered them, I admit, I was puzzled… His first piano sonatas sounded at first to me like random notes…
It was “Sur Incises” that made me really listen… it was a composition that “clicked”, and it’s one of my favorite works of modern music. I don’t know why, but I find at least some of Boulez’ compositions highly “soothing” in a strange way. I find Boulez was an interesting personality and I’ve seen him a couple of times in concert as a conductor. So while this box doubled up on a few things I already had, I had to get it.
