The 1990s
Tommy Pearson discusses the advent of world music in the nineties with Simon Broughton and Charlie Gillett. The CD revolution has seen music flooding in from all corners of the globe. World music is now big business; the sound is influencing music as diverse as dance music and jazz, classical and film music; and it is part of the National
Curriculum. Given that there are so many new sounds from so many different cultures, is it not time to call it something else?
Sean Rafferty with news from the world of music and the arts. Music includes at 5.40 Howard Skempton 's Lento and at 6.45 songs from Schumann's Dichterliebe.
Thesee
Lully's five-act opera, composed in 1675, was one of his most successful, yet it has not been heard complete since the 18th century. Last year, the American conductor
William Christie led a project in which students from conservatoires in Paris, London, Caen, Lyon, the Hague and Trossingen came together to rehearse intensively and give semi-staged performances in eight European cities under the auspices of the European Baroque Academy, Ambronay. In October, Radio 3 recorded this final performance in the Barbican Hall, London. The cast includes
Andrew Hewitt as the warrior hero Theseus, Sophie Karthauser as his beloved Aegle, and Kimberly McCord as the evil sorceress Medea.
