Nirmali Fenn, 脡liane Radigue, Jia Guoping
Kate Molleson introduces music ranging from explorations of the sound of a single flute and a specially constructed bell to a concerto for the ancient Chinese sheng.
Kate Molleson introduces a show which ranges from explorations of the acoustical properties of a single flute, the sound of toy bells found in charity shops and a specially constructed giant bell. Also tonight, there's a concerto featuring the sheng, an ancient Chinese wind instrument which has inspired a number of western composer recently and the programme ends with one of the remarkable series of works by 脡liane Radigue which have occupied her for nearly half a century: slow, meditative, sculptures in sound which draw the ear ever deeper. And there's a look ahead to the world of John Luther Adams whose In the Name of the Earth is premiered in tomorrow morning's 大象传媒 Prom.
