"[Le Soleil des Eaux], first given as a cantata in Paris in July 1950, grew out of some incidental music Boulez wrote for a radio production of Char's work of the same name, broadcast in April 1948. The music of the original version, reworked, became 'Complainte du lézard amoureux', and Boulez added to this a second movement, 'La sorgue'. The scoring of the cantata, both impressionistically delicate and violent, has a hallucinatory clarity which accords well with Boulez's surrealist intentions." (Grove Online) (953)
