John Tavener
A 大象传媒 Philharmonic concert of music by John Tavener. Presented by Tom Service, in conversation with Judith Weir, who studied with Tavener as a young composer.
At the Manchester International Festival in July 2013, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic gave a concert of music by John Tavener, including three world premieres - some of the last music he composed before his death in November at the age of 69. In tonight's Hear and Now the concert is presented by Tom Service in conversation with Judith Weir - as an aspiring teenage composer in the early 1970s, Weir had lessons from Tavener, who lived nearby. And we'll also hear from Tavener himself, in archive interviews.
