Stephen Pratt introduces the last edition from this year's Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.
The main work is the British premiere of Stockhausen's Libra, a theatre piece for bass clarinet and electronics. Suzanne Stephens plays the clarinet while the composer controls the electronic sound projection. The Ives Ensemble from the Netherlands mark their British debut with the world premiere of Gerald Barry 's Piano Quartet No 2 and with Christopher Fox 's Theme and Variations, which lasts 45 minutes and contains, as the composer says, "everything I know how to do".
Producer Paul Hindmarsh
