Œuvre de Pierre Boulez

[James]

Hey folks,

To date .. Pierre Boulez has composed somewhere in the vicinity of 35-45 individual works .. just was curious roughly how much of it folks here at GMG have absorbed? Pick the percentage that's approximately representative. 100% being most of it; 75% being roughly three quarters;  50% about half, et cetera .. 0% being under the 5% mark, meaning hardly anything or in fact nothing yet. My inquiring mind is curious and would like to know.

Thanks in advance.

I count 42 works.

I think I've heard 7, so that's 14%

I own 19 Boulez works...so, 45%

Zero. I don't really like him as a conductor, so I have ignored his output, which is silly since I might very well like his works...What do you (others) recommend as a good piece to start with?

About 90%. I have about 35 of his works on CD, and a handful more on mp3.

I have Le Marteau sans maitre, and have heard a couple of other works along the way.

Let's just say that I have no plans to increase my holdings of Boulez the composer (as opposed to Boulez the conductor, whom I like rather a lot)
