Helmut Lachenmann's String Quartet no. 2

Kate Molleson introduces Sara Pinheiro's live responses to the sound of a radio and Helmut Lachenmann's String Quartet No. 2 and Stephen Montague talks in depth to Robert Worby.

New Music Show: Kate Molleson introduces the latest sounds in new music including the sound artist, Sara Pinheiro's live responses to the sound of a radio in her Reticencias, and the whisper-thin delicacies of German master, Helmut Lachenmann's String Quartet No. 2 'Dance of the Blessed Spirits.' Also tonight, in the Robert Worby Interview, Stephen Montague - who turned eighty earlier this year - talks to Robert about his work as a pianist, composer. As he says: "I write music to engage an audience, to seduce them sometimes by stealth...Variety is my oxygen." And, from Glasgow's Tectonics earlier in the month, Bunita Marcus's, '...but to fashion a lullaby for you...,' her elegiac love song for husband Morton Feldman.
