An archive performance recorded in 1975 of Pierre Boulez conducting the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra in works by Webern, Birtwistle and Ravel.
Tom Service presents the last of six recordings from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Archives celebrating 40 years of Radio 3.
Pierre Boulez's tenure as the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra's Chief Conductor from 1971-1975 is widely thought of as a high point in the orchestra's history. One of Boulez's last concerts at the helm was recorded in Yokohama in 1975 as part of a Japanese tour and is a telling showcase of their partnership.
Webern: Passacaglia
Birtwistle: Nenia on the Death of Orpheus
Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe
