Luke Bedford, Gavin Bryars
The London Sinfonietta perform music by Luke Bedford and Gerard Grisey. Plus an interview with experimental composer Gavin Bryars.
Continuing Radio 3's celebration of British music, Tom Service introduces a concert of works by Luke Bedford, performed by the London Sinfonietta at the South Bank Centre last month. And in the second of four interviews with British composers celebrating their 70th birthday this year, Gavin Bryars reflects on his early career in conversation with Robert Worby, focusing on the experimental piece 1, 2, 1-2-3-4, in which musicians perform independently of each other to pre-recorded music on cassette.
