A review of a recent performance, as part of a series dedicated to Boulez, from The Boston Globe:
It’s hard to believe, but that perpetual enfant terrible Pierre Boulez, the composer/conductor whose trailblazing music has been inspiring and infuriating people for decades now, turned 85 on March 26. To celebrate, Boston Conservatory is throwing him a birthday bash — four concerts in four days featuring his influential work.
