A typically adventurous programme "curated" by Esa-Pekka Salonen paired Boulez with Debussy. 

The Musikfest Berlin presented their own ‘Hommage’ to Boulez with his complete works for piano performed by Pierre-Laurent Aimard and Tamara Stefanovich.

The concert, which was part of Mostly Mozart’s “A Little Night Music” series of late-night events, was comprised of six preludes, six canons, and George Benjamin’s 2001 composition Shadowlines, six canonic preludes for the piano that were written for Aimard.

The four-part concert, conducted by Franz Welser-Möst, emphasized Boulez's relationship with the orchestra as composer, teacher, conductor, and friend, with four musical works to illustrate those characteristics.

This Sunday, pianist Karim Said returned to the Southbank Centre to put Arnold Schoenberg under the microscope for a third and last time. Performing as part of the International Piano Series 2012/13 and the cataclysmic Rest is Noise festival, Said’s concerts have focused on the genesis of the Second Viennese School.

Hier waren Berufene am Werk: Pierre-Laurent Aimard und das SWR Symphonieorchester unter Maxime Pascal mit Boulez und Bruckner.

Pour l'édition 2015 du Festival Musica de Strasbourg, Pierre-Laurent Aimard nous donne un récital centré sur la musique de Pierre Boulez, mais où se côtoient aussi Ligeti et Beethoven.
