Structures pour deux pianos

Album Notes & Community Reviews

This commanding recording features the legendary Kontarsky brothers interpreting one of the most notoriously complex and mathematically rigid works of the 20th century. Boulez's 'Structures', composed in the 1950s, applies total serialism not just to pitch, but to rhythm, dynamics, and attack, resulting in a highly abstract, atonal dialogue between two pianos. The album serves as an essential, definitive document of post-war European modernist music.
