Music in Our Time: Brian Ferneyhough

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

'I suspect that Ferneyhough's real concern is not with expressionism, with what performers can or cannot do, or with what audiences can or cannot assimilate. His concern is with the creative act itself, and with the constraints it imposes, however strongly the creator strives for total freedom.'

Arnold Whittall introduces second hearings of three works spanning the last 15 years.

Missa Brevis (1969) - JOHN ALLDIS CHOIR conductor JOHN ALLDIS
String Quartet No 2 (1979/80) - ARDITTI STRING QUARTET
Carceri d'Invenzione I (1982) - LONDON SINFONIETTA conducted by Oliver KNUSSEN
