50 - Pierre Boulez – The Path into the Unknown

Composer, conductor, cultural-political figure, human being – who was Pierre Boulez? One of the most important composers of the 20th century; a legendary conductor whose recordings sold hundreds of thousands of copies; he persuaded politicians to build him ideal concert halls and a unique research laboratory. For some, he was a hot-headed dogmatist; others revered him as a visionary and generous educator. A surprising and emotional portrait pays tribute to Pierre Boulez on his 100th birthday.
