Hm, that is interesting. I also not a huge fun of Boulez but I remember a few years back I turned my tuner and it was somebody play Debussy’s “La Mer” and then without introduction the Jeux. It is very difficult to knock me off with La Mer but then it literally arrested me. I turned the recorder and there it was… The play was by Boulez and Cleveland – I would never believe…
What is very fascinating in it that “La Mer” and “Verklarte Nacht” are music from the similar “barrels”. The Debussy is more romantic and the Nacht is more hallucinogenic. I do not know, I never used any psychedelics drugs, in fact any drugs at all, but if I do and then if I was “forced” to conduct an orchestra then I would play something like Verklarte Nacht only with a few thousands string instruments, big ass 40’ organ and a few slowly exploding nuclear bombs…
