  (6) Hilary Summers (mezzo), members of the West-Eastern Divan Orch/François-Xavier Roth

  After Beethoven's Quintet for piano and winds, written soon after his arrival in Vienna, François-Xavier Roth directs Pierre Boulez's breakthrough piece, Le marteau sans maître ('The Hammer without a Master'), arguably the single most influential composition of the 1950s. By interlocking settings of three poems by the Surrealist poet René Char with commentaries from specific sub-groups of its ensemble, Boulez established a new kind of rapport between text and music through unsuspected continuities of timbre, a labyrinth of exotic sound at once tightly organised and delirious.
