Andrew McGregor is joined by a panel of guests for the climax of Radio 3's celebration of Webern's music with works dating from 1924 to the time of his tragic and untimely death 60 years ago today, when he was accidentally shot dead by a cook in the US military. Webern was more or less unknown to the general public during his lifetime, but his reputation soared after his death, when his music became a model for composers of the immediate postwar generation. His legacy of 31 mature works subsequently had more influence than he could ever have imagined. What surprised his contemporaries was the music's intensity and concision. The effect - as Schoenberg put it - is as if a novel were to be contained within a single sigh. The music is delicate, pregnant with suggestion, illusive and nervous, and its emotional intensity has amazed listeners ever since. Music includes:
9.30 Symphony, Op 21 Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Herbert von Karajan
10.00 Concerto, Op 24 Dresden Staatskapelle, conductor Giuseppe Sinopoli
10.40 Variations, Op 27 Llyr Williams (piano)
