Pierre Boulez - Domaines
reissued on CD in 1988, original release date 1971 (likely copied from a vinyl copy)
performed by Ensemble Musique Vivante under the direction of Diego Masson
clarinet solo: Michel Portal
...originally intended for solo clarinet when it was premiered in 1968. Two years later, Pierre Boulez adopted a circular arrangement made up of six instrumental units, with the clarinet as the sixth of these. The result is a structure in two large sections - original and mirror - directly derived from the dialogue between 'the protagonists' (in this case, Michel Portal) and each of the groups of instruments.
