BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Priscilla and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Kagami reviewed

Priscilla and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Kagami reviewed, silence in music.

Priscilla is Sofia Coppola’s film about Priscilla Beaulieu who first met Elvis Presley when she was 14 years old and later became his wife. Critics Hannah Strong and Ryan Gilbey review it. They also look at  Kagami, a mixed-reality posthumous concert featuring the music of Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto.

The power of music often relies on the spaces between the notes. Sarah Anderson’s book The Lost Art of Silence explores the quality of absence and she discusses this with the music broadcaster Tom Service.

Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe
Producer: Harry Parker

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
