An archive performance recorded in 1975 of Pierre Boulez conducting the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra in works by Webern, Birtwistle and Ravel.

Tom Service presents the last of six recordings from the 91热爆 Archives celebrating 40 years of Radio 3.

Pierre Boulez's tenure as the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra's Chief Conductor from 1971-1975 is widely thought of as a high point in the orchestra's history. One of Boulez's last concerts at the helm was recorded in Yokohama in 1975 as part of a Japanese tour and is a telling showcase of their partnership.

Webern: Passacaglia
Birtwistle: Nenia on the Death of Orpheus
Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe
