Robert Ziegler introduces works by two masters of the miniature. From CD. a selection of Conlon
Nancarrow's blues-gone-crazy Studies for Player Piano in instrumental arrangements played by the Ensemble Modern.
And, from this year's
Cheltenham Festival, the London Sinfonietta Soloists play Ruckblick- a homage to Stockhausen by Gyorgy Kurtag.
This major work is an extended sequence of movements ranging in style from folk rhythms to minimalism.
