Rolf Hind's Blue to the Throat for Elaine Mitchener

The latest sounds from the world of new music, including the premiere of Rolf Hind's Blue to the Throat - eight movements for the singer Elaine Mitchener, exploring the throat.

Tom Service introduces some of the latest sounds from the world of new music, including the premiere of Rolf Hind's Blue to the Throat.

Rolf Hind鈥檚 new work Blue to the Throat is a sequence of eight movements for the singer Elaine Mitchener who performed it at Wigmore Hall with Apartment House. Each of the movements takes a different view from philosophy, poetry and nature of the idea of the throat from Catholic blessings of the throat, to Sanskrit and the natural world and an eloquent new poem by Dante Micheaux. Also in the programme, Aftermath of the Overflow, the third of Giulia Monducci's Avenue works for large ensemble is performed by Klangforum WIen. And, amongst the new releases, is a celebration of the sounds of Greece from Spyros Polychronopoulos and Jannis Anastasakis.
