Oxford Contemporary Music: Britten Sinfonla
Tom Service talks to John Woolrich about curatingthe Britten Sinfonia 's recent
Contemporary Music Network tour, and introduces a concert recorded as part of Oxford Contemporary Music, celebrating John Zorn 's 50th birthday with two contrasting works, Angelus Novus and For Your Eyes Only, the latter showing the huge influence that cartoon music has had on Zorn's output. Also on the bill are John Adams 's wry take on Schoenberg in his
Chamber Symphony and John Woolrich 's Music from a House of Crossed Desires, a fantasy drawn from his 1995 opera.
