Recital Pierre-Laurent Aimard

A virtuoso’s promenades

“What was extraordinary about Boulez was his kind of musical ethic. Here was a passion, a man who was on fire for music, unstoppable, and this was palpable in every second of his music-making.” These are the words of French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, who at the age of fifteen had already obtained scores of Boulez's piano works and immersed himself in them completely. On the occasion of the composer’s 100th birthday, the pianist invites us on a promenade through twentieth-century musical history, beginning his program with Boulez’s virtuoso Third Piano Sonata, which not only explores incredible sound worlds but also underscores Aimard's statement that the piano was "his" instrument.
