Elliott Carter Tribute, Eliane Radigue
Ivan Hewett pays tribute to the late American composer Elliott Carter with an interview from 2008. Plus the Hear and Now Fifty: Eliane Radigue's Songs of Milarepa.
Ivan Hewett pays tribute to the American composer Elliott Carter who died earlier this week, with a repeat broadcast of an interview first heard in 2008. And in this week's Hear and Now Fifty, author and journalist Rob Young nominates French composer Eliane Radigue's Songs of Milarepa, which combines drone-like electronics with the voices of Lama Kunga Rinpoche and Robert Ashley singing and reading the words of the 11th-century Tibetan Buddhist poet Milarepa. With commentary from Richard Whitelaw, Head of Programmes at Sound and Music.
