For over thirty years Pierre Boulez had a white-hot relationship conducting the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra. From the 1960s onwards together they leapt over musical boundaries, and in spectacular performances introduced the world to many of the great works of the twentieth century.
In the first of two recent concerts in Monte Carlo, celebrating Pierre Boulez's centenary, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra performs some of the key music they worked on together.
