Emotion and Analysis

Over Emotion and Analysis

• Conductor Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) best describes his relationship with the music of composer B?la Bart?k (1881-1945) as a "sympathy between musicians". Both among the most influential artists of the 20th century, the Frenchman has worked with the music of the Hungarian composer for over five decades. A key work of Bart?k is the Concerto for Orchestra, which premiered in Boston in 1944. The film Emotion and Analysis follows Pierre Boulez in his rehearsals of this composition with the Berlin Philharmonic, offering a fascinating look into the methods of a great master of modern music. The rehearsals take place in the spectacular setting of Jer?nimos Monastery in Lisbon, where the Berlin Philharmonic performed their annual European concert in 2003. In a series of interviews, Pierre Boulez explains the historical origins of Bart?k's late work, his own personal style of interpretation and his role as conductor as well as his love of composing.
