Summer Record Review: Andrew McGregor with Hannah French. Proms Composer Gerald Barry

Andrew McGregor presents Summer Record Review with recent recordings, top releases and a focus on Proms composer Gerald Barry. Plus an anniversary round-up of Telemann recordings.

with Andrew McGregor;

0930 Proms Composer: Gerald Barry
In his setting of texts the Irish composer Gerald Barry delights in the unexpected, in his instrumental music he commands the senses, all of which belies the complexity of his underlying structures. Growing up in rural Cork, he was introduced to music through listening to the radio and has vividly described his visceral reaction to hearing a Handel opera aria for the first time. He studied with Stockhausen and Kagel, and the composer Thomas Adès has described his music as "unprecedented". Andrew explores recordings of this intriguing composer's music ahead of the world premiere of his piece 'Canada' in Monday evening's Prom; commissioned by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ and performed by the CBSO under Mirga GražinytÄ—-Tyla.

1030 Hannah French joins Andrew to play highlights from a selection of Telemann releases in this 250th anniversary year
