Kent Nagano
The avant-pop star Björk, known for her interest in avant-garde music, performed "Pierrot lunaire" at the 1996 Verbier Festival with Kent Nagano conducting. According to the singer in a 2004 interview, "Kent Nagano wanted to make a recording of it, but I really felt that I would be invading the territory of people who sing this for a lifetime ." Only small recorded excerpts (possibly bootlegs) of her performance have become available.
