Strauch is a strong proponent of contemporary music, playing about 80% contemporary music and 20% "classical" music.〔Interview by Anthony Pecqueur Accents No. 39 - September–December 2009, http://www.ensembleinter.com/accents-online/?feed=rss2&cat=968〕 Strauch has performed, premiered and recorded many 20th century works by composers such as Iannis Xenakis, Luciano Berio, Bernd Alois Zimmermann and Olivier Messiaen. Strauch gave the Parisian premiere of Time and Motion Study II by Brian Ferneyhough and Ritorno degli Snovidenia by Luciano Berio.〔Biography downloaded from Ensemble Intercontemporain website, http://www.ensembleinter.com/fr/31solistes〕 Strauch has composed works for the cello, other solo instruments and chamber ensembles.

Rather, music should be seen as a vector of meaning, evoking reactions in the listener.〔Interview by Anthony Pecqueur Accents No. 39 - September–December 2009, http://www.ensembleinter.com/accents-online/?feed=rss2&cat=968〕 Strauch's activities as a conductor are sporadic, usually entailing a few projects per year.〔Interview by Anthony Pecqueur Accents No. 39 - September–December 2009, http://www.ensembleinter.com/accents-online/?feed=rss2&cat=968〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Strauch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
