I had not previously been aware of this series made by Boulez for French TV in 1988. It is far too highbrow to have ever been shown on our PBS. Boulez discusses, rehearses and performs with his Ircam players the Japanese Lyrics of Stravinsky, and excerpts from Le Marteau sans le Maitre, Schoenberg's Serenade and Berg's Chamber Concerto. It's all quite clinical, but such was his vision of the century's music.
