The years have seen Pierre Boulez record for CBS, Erato, EMI, and Philips, among other labels, but his most consistent and critically praised work has appeared on Deutsche Grammophon, where he has conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Berlin Philharmonic, and his own Ensemble InterContemporain in many successful performances. These ensembles are heard on this trimline, six-CD box set of Igor Stravinsky's major works, which brings together Boulez's recordings of L'oiseau de feu, Petrushka, Le Sacre du printemps, L'histoire du Soldat, the symphonies, concertos, and other works, recorded between 1980 and 1996.

If you look at the music history of the 20th century so rich in innovations and revolutions, you quickly come to a personality that unites all the great currents of that time: Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) laid back such a wide artistic path as hardly any other composer. From the student years of the Russian romantic Rimski-Korsakov to the scandal shattering the art world around his ballet Le Sacre du Printemps to the testing of neoclassicism, the combination of classical and jazz, the twelve-tone atonality, and this in all musical genres: Stravinsky is considered the inventor of modernity. and their first full at the same time.

Interrompu par la police roumaine en pleine conférence, le célèbre professeur Charles Baker, de l’université de Princeton, croit d'abord à une méprise.
