Elliott Carter Centenary Concert

Suzy Klein introduces Oliver Knussen conducting the 大象传媒 SO to mark Elliott Carter's 100th birthday. Including concertos for horn and cello, and the UK premiere of Wind Rose.

Suzy Klein introduces Oliver Knussen conducting the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in a concert given to mark the 100th birthday of Elliott Carter, who was born on 11 December 1908.

Carter was initially encouraged to become a composer by Charles Ives, who had sold insurance to his parents, and since the 1940s his influence as composer, writer and teacher has spanned the globe. He is still writing now and has enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Knussen and with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra.
