Pierre Boulez and Maurizio Pollini, two of the most celebrated
artists in classical music today, gave a joint press conference
in Tokyo to launch respective concert series on Monday.

Composer-conductor Boulez started a tour of Japan with the
London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), with Pollini appearing as the
soloist in Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 1. The performance also
marked the opening of the Pollini Project, a series of concerts
featuring music from the 16th to 20th centuries.

[ 16th ? Obviously not piano music ;) ]

"It's a daring enterprise," Pollini, 60, said of putting music
of different ages in the same program. "For me to go out from my
normal life of a concert pianist to making programs has given me
great joy and a great opportunity to study and to have a
relationship with music that I didn't know or knew very
superficially."
