Prom 44: London Sinfonietta, Andre de Ridder
A Prom from 2012 in which the London Sinfonietta and Andre de Ridder play classics of post-Second World War music, from Ligeti, Berio, Xenakis, Harvey, Andriessen and Cage.
Another chance to hear one of the highlights of the 2012 Proms season.
Presented by Tom Service
Six classics of post-war music are featured in this Late Night Prom, reflecting Radio 3's Fifty Modern Classics. London Sinfonietta, London Sinfonietta Academy Ensemble and Andre de Ridder play Ligeti, Berio, Xenakis, Harvey, Andriessen and Cage
The concert starts with Ligeti's playful Poeme with its 100 ticking metronomes; followed by Berio's iconoclastic Sequenza V for solo trombone; Xenakis's lively Phlegra; Jonathan Harvey's electronic mixture of bell and treble voice, Mortuos plango, vivos voco; Luis Andriessen's Minimalist musical clock, De snelheid; and ending with John Cage's infamous 4 minutes and thirty-three seconds of pure silence.
