Morning Performance: A Magpie Called Igor: 4: Forbidden Fruit

on BBC Radio 3

Jonathan Cross follows Stravinsky's forays into the worlds of jazz and pop, including the Tango-Waltz-Ragtime from The Soldier's Tale, and the Ebony Concerto - written for jazz clarinettist Woody Herman. Cross also shows how, like Stravinsky, Mozart and Saint-Saens borrowed from other composers. Plus the story since: jazz meets serialism and the spiritual in Bernd Aloys Zimmermann's Trumpet Concerto Nobody Knows de Trouble I See; Louis Andriessen sets out to "breakdown a few musical barriers" between jazz, pop, folk and classical in De Volharding; and Martin Butler's Hootenanny, composed for the Orkest de Volharding, who took their name from Andriessen's work.
