Gerald Barry's Double Bass Concerto from Berlin

Kate Molleson introduces music from the Manchester Camerata Ensemble's recent Unquiet project and the premiere in Berlin of Gerald Barry's Double Bass Concerto.

Kate Molleson introduces some of the latest sounds in new music, including tracks from Hildur Guðnadóttir at the Manchester Camerata Ensemble's recent Unquiet project and the world premiere in Berlin of Gerald Barry's eagerly-awaited Double Bass Concerto - From the Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. There’s also Michele Abondano's 'suelo seco,' an exploration for cello and piano of different kinds of friction, in which amplification is used to shape our perceptions of the inner nature of dryness. And, to end, the swirling and eruptive voice and electronics of Audrey Chen.
