Philippe Boesmans saves his notes from the fire
I knew that the score of my opera that I'm writing, or rather the two-thirds that I’ve finished, was in good hands. It wasn’t at my place. I remember when I was rescued, when I was taken down from the balcony with a lift, that this was the first thing that popped in my head: "Ah, I still have my notes." That was more important than all my furniture together.Philippe Boesmans in La Conversation avec Camille De Rijck on Musiq3 - 16-9-21
