Pierre Boulez Dialogues de l’ombre double

The title Dialogue de l’ombre double is from Paul Claudel’s play Le Soulier de Satin, a drama that tells the story of an impossible love and explores the dialogues between earthly and heavenly characters. The piece was written in 1985 by Pierre Boulez on the 60th anniversary of another great composer, Luciano Berio, and is presented here in its original version for clarinet and magnetic tape. Also from France, the programme brings an early piece by Gérard Grisey that includes excerpts with multiphonic sounds – two simultaneous sounds produced by a single wind instrument. Hugo Vasco Reis and João Pedro Oliveira, prominent names in Portuguese composition, also explore the dialogue between instrumental and electronic music.
