BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

In the first of three editions surveying French music, Alwynne Pritchard is joined by composers Julian Anderson and Gordon Downie to discuss the pure abstraction of Gilbert Amy in the high Modernist period of the 1960s, and how it has survived in composers of the next generation.
