Timeless Troubadour

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

John Buller turned to the songs of 12th-century
Provençal troubadours in his large orchestral piece Proenca, a BBC commission in 1977. More recently, in Towards Aquarius, Buller has explored another sort of time travel, driving the ensemble ever forward by accelerating pulsations from a tape.
Towards Aquarius Lontano, conductor
Odaline de la Martinez
Proenca Sarah Walker (mezzo)
Timothy Walker (electric guitar)
BBC Symphony Orchestra, conductor Mark Elder
(Butler's 1993 Prom commission 'Bacchae Metres' next Monday evening)
