The Sound of the City

on BBC Radio 3

Few changes in our time have been more marked than the change in the face of the city. But the sound of the city, too, is changing; and the sound speaks of a change in the very nature of life in the urban community.
The painter Harold Riley reflects on the sounds of his own city, past and present. Special recordings made in Manchester and Salford by David Fleming-Williams and Chris Webb.
