Arnold Schoenberg: Serenade/Five Pieces For Orchestra-Pierre Boulez.

Para quienes se interesan en la transición musical entre Gustav Mahler y Arnold Schoenberg este registro de las Cinco Piezas para Orquesta constituye uno de los eslabones mas significativos, no solo por el marcado acento Mahleriano de la composición, sino por la inigualable conducción de Pierre Boulez y la rendición alcanzada por la BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Este disco, prácticamente imposible de conseguir, es una joya, pues sintetiza la relación de trabajo que logro Boulez al frente de la BBC-SO (1971-1975).
