Boulez conducts Debussy's "Jeux"

[@gerardbegni2806]

Jeux is a very touchy score, probably one of the most advanced of Debussy. It is not often played. Boulez offers a splendid rendition to us, letting us hear the mystery of his construction. It is a pity to have cut the interpretation by an interview of Pierre Boulez, vary interesting indeed, but which could have been gathered before the staarting of the music.

The good music is interrupted with the interview.

@@davidmcmurray9933 Dear friend, that"s KZbin !!!!!! Either you pay, r h you have to suffer from these commercial practices, even in such masterwork which are the work conducted by Boulez and very subtelr Boulez' comments !!! Such aggressive commercial practices are not compatible with our musical education and culture, but as well with what is music indeed. Do you imagine the most sacred works by JSB interrupted by an avertissement about a "revolutionary" toothpaste? My God.... do they use toothpaste in Paradise?

[@davidmcmurray9933]

Pierre Boulez wrote an important book on music analysis, "Notes of an Apprenticeship." Well worth looking at. Ways to relook at what many composers did.

[@davidmcmurray9933]

Wonderful to watch P. Boulez conduct this. I very much love playing DeBussy's later piano music. Not unlike his orchestral models.

[@JohnSmith-mo2st]

Thanks! I agree that the interview with Boulez should not be during the music, though. JOHN

[@frisimota]

Why on earth did someone interrupt the music with Boulez's comments? OMG it was such a splendid performance and they ruined it

[@psijicassassin7166]

If the music can't explain itself, it's probably garbage.

[@samdajellybeenie14]

So interesting to see how his interpretation of this piece has changed over time!

[@davidmcmurray9933]

I didn't notice, not really keeping up. How did his interpretation change.

[@danielhayashi2248]

Great performance, shame the video editors butcher it by putting an interview overtop the best part

[@davidmcmurray9933]

Yes, the music should never be interrupted. I imagine Boulez would feel the same.

Who thought to intercut this ravishing music with a Boulez's interview? Madness!

[@tiniesttown]

Boulez's important comments on the use of rubato in this piece could easily have been used in the interview not as an overlay as the goddamn piece is playing. Common critique of this piece but this is a very good performance and sad that it was edited so. His comments are important but not more important than the music.

not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother recently =)

[@leonardojake9153]

@Romeo Noah definitely, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

[@leonardodamian1893]

@Romeo Noah yea, been using instaflixxer for years myself :D

[@EricVanBuggenhaut]

Any credit to the orchestra?

[@jean-francoisbrunet2031]

Jeux fait musique de film, par moments - précisément par son côté momentané, décousu, enchaînement de micro-suspenses. Cette impression anachronique résulte probablement d'une influence sur les compositeurs Hollywoodiens de la grande époque.

武満徹はドビュッシー「遊戯」が大好き 冒頭は武満トーン デュカス「魔法使いの弟子」みたいな音と鳴ってる

[@ptyxs]

Could you please tell us when where and with which Orchestra this extremely interesting vidéo was recorded ? Thanks.

[@markstahura6194]

Has to be a student orchestra at one of the major conservatories. All players are decidedly young.

[@michelrenard500]

But witch orchestra is it ??

[@neil7137]

From what documentary is this excerpt?

[@gilbertdaroy6080]

I like the free improvising style of Debussy here. The rehearsals of this piece must have been a nightmare for any conductor.

[@jackdolphy8965]

Or the most delicious challenge of a career.

what absence of passion at 9:12. incredible. does this conductor not feel anything? no.

[@javiervivanco919]

Ingelbrecht is the best directeur for this work....

[@adriandurand4531]

In my ciew, when conducting « Jeux », Boulez is very good, Inghelbrecht is excellent indeed... and Manuel Rosenthal is absolutely OUTSTANDING.

[@thefrankonion]

He shouldn't be talking over it at all.

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

オーケストラの各パートをコラージュしたような構成(コンポーズ) ストラビンスキーのオーケストラみたい

[@川口健太郎-l1b]

ロシアの後輩ストラビンスキーの影響を受けている ストラビンスキーはフランスのドビュッシーの影響を受けている 大先輩と、異国の若者が影響し合う この時代のパリは魅力的
