Marking the centenary of Pierre Boulez (19252025), this limited edition release presents Idil Birets thrilling interpretations of Piano Sonata No. 2, a defining work of post-war modernism. Paired with the Sonata Op. 1 by Alban Berg and Anton Weberns Variations Op. 27, the album captures a vital chapter in 20th-century music. Birets performances, recorded in Paris and New York, reflect both technical precision and a profound understanding of the works structural complexity and expressive force. Boulezs sonata, famously intended to destroy the forms of the past, finds in Biret a performer equal to its intensity and intellect.
