Le Printemps des Arts - "Jolivet - Ravel - Cendo"
Not merely a composer, conductor, and builder of institutions, Pierre Boulez was also a virtuoso when it came to courting controversy. This "confrontation concert" by the Ensemble Linea pits two composers against one another, one who felt the bite of Boulez' critique, the other a critic of Boulez himself. The first is André Jolivet (whose talent Boulez nonetheless acknowledged), the second Raphaël Cendo, an artist who loves to push the envelope and is known for his "saturated music" concept.
