Tom Service introduces contemporary German orchestral music by Aribert Reimann and Matthias Pintscher. Plus the Hear And Now Fifty: Stravinsky's Requiem Canticles.
Tom Service introduces contemporary German orchestral music: Aribert Reimann's Neun St眉cke and Matthias Pintscher's cello concerto entitled Reflections on Narcissus. Matthias Pintscher conducts the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra with cellist Joshua Roman. And in this week's Hear and Now Fifty, composer John Woolrich nominates Igor Stravinsky's last completed work with orchestra, Requiem Canticles. Commentator Paul Griffiths explains how this sparsely scored "pocket requiem", written in 1966 in a modern serial style, contains many of the hallmarks of his very earliest pieces.
