The American composer Elliott Carter (1908-2012) lived to the age of 103, completing commissions till the very end of his life. This sequence of works from Carter's salad days (influenced by Charles Ives in the US and Nadia Boulanger in Paris) to his final flowerings displays music by turns tender, uncompromising, and humorous.
