Three Screaming Popes (composed 1988-9) is Turnage's response to Francis Bacon's paintings of that name. The Game Is Over is a new work written for the BBC Symphony Chorus at the start of their 75th anniversary season, and a work by Stravinsky represents another of Turnage's great influences. Presented by John Tusa.
