Boulez, who lives in Baden-Baden, knows better than most conductors how the music of his own time should sound, since he himself has composed some of the best of it (Eclat, Le Marteau sans Maítre).

Actually, the production is a hollow, frantic caricature-The Character Assassination of Gertrude Lawrence as Performed by the Inmates of Madame Tussaud...
