Tributes to a Musical Titan
French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez has died at the age of 90. Boulez had been considered one of the most influential voices in the contemporary music since the 1950s and, as a conductor, he was in demand on both sides of the Atlantic. Newshour spoke to two people that knew him - the conducter and violinist Sir Neville Marriner, and the contralto Hilary Summers, who remembered her first audition in front of Boulez.
