Promo Note
Robert Sandall presents an eclectic selection of music, including the new album by "post-jazz" band Polar Bear; music for Robert Wilson’s dramas by two very dissimilar musicians: ex-Talking Heads singer David Byrne and minimalist composer Philip Glass; splendidlly diverse takes on song-form by chanteuse Camille, ex-Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt, tango singer Melingo and singing harpist Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe; some surprisingly abstract early electronica by Human League before they became a chart-topping pop act; and the Chinese erhu virtuoso Jiang Jian Hua.. That's not all; there's also the unclassifiable London group The Real Tuesday Weld, the Icelandic composer Johann Johannson…
