Schoenberg: Pelleas Und Melisande / Boulez

Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, Pierre Boulez

Schoenberg: Pelleas und Melisande, Op. 5
Wagner: Tristan und Isolde: Prelude to Act 1

Pierre Boulez, renowned for championing the most daring music of the 20th century, leads this 2003 Tokyo concert, played in the presence of Japan’s Emperor and Empress. Schoenberg’s Pelleas and Melisande could have received no treatment more royal than Boulez gives it at Suntory Hall with the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.
The Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra was founded by Claudio Abbado to provide young musicians the chance to work with established conductors and soloists. Based in Vienna, they tour during the Easter and summer seasons.
2011 marks the 25th anniversary of the Mahler Youth Orchestra, with which Boulez has toured four times.
