One of the world's great pianists, Pierre-Laurent Aimard is as renowned for his performances of 20th century music as he is for Bach and Beethoven. He talks to Andrew Ford about the late Pierre Boulez, who he found generous, complex and completely committed to music; about Messiaen and colour, and about Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand.
