Re: Pierre Boulez Sonata No.1

To Nessie Russell and List:

There is at least two recordings of the Boulez Piano Sonata No. 1 that I am aware of:

Claude Helffer (Piano)

Astree-Auvidis – E 7716 (Compact Disc)

Published in 1986

This is paired with Boulez’s Piano Sonatas Nos. 2 and 3

I do not know if this recording is still available though …

Idil Biret (Piano)

Naxos 8.553353 (Compact Disc)

This is paired with Boulez’s other two piano sonatas (nos. 2 and 3)

Published in 1995

I believe this is still available, but I could be wrong. I hope this helps.

Subject: Pierre Boulez Sonata No.1

Last week I received a copy of the programme for the Presentation Ceremony and Concert of the Glenn Gould Prize, 2002.

Boulez's Piano Sonata was played at this event. I have never heard this work.

Has anyone got the score for it? Has anyone heard it played? Does anyone know if there are any recordings of it?

I would appreciate all comments.

Happy Canada Day in advance to all. I suppose those of Glenn Gould's generations would say Happy Dominion Day.
