Performance on 3: BBC SO - Robert Crumb

BBC SO - Robert Crumb

BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, BBC SO - Robert Crumb

The BBC SO under Martyn Brabbins in music by maverick American composer George Crumb.

From the Barbican Hall, London. Petroc Trelawny presents the BBC Symphony Orchestra and friends, under Martyn Brabbins, exploring music by maverick American composer George Crumb.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

In a concert given at the Barbican Hall, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and friends explore the music of one of the most original and unpredictable composers of our time - the American maverick George Crumb. Born in 1929 in Charleston, West Virginia, Crumb is hard to categorise, and is seen as a sonic inventor and a musical pioneer. There's a haunting sense of the mystical and spiritual about his work but it is also delicate and theatrical, rich in references to non-western music and composers such as Bach and Chopin.

The BBC SO perform his 1968 Pulitzer Prize-winning piece Echoes of Time and the River, which explores the nature of the passing of time, with the performers processing around the stage in four lines each at different speeds.

Pianist Joanna MacGregor joins the celebration playing his Little Suite for Christmas, AD 1979, described as a 'holy tone-poem' for piano, inspired by Giotto's frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel.

The orchestra is then joined by soloists, soprano Claudia Barainsky, the Trinity Boys Choir and the New London Chamber Choir for a performance of Crumb's largest work in terms of performing forces, Star-Child, which traces a blazing, inspired vision from apocalyptic darkness to redeeming light.

Charlie Gillett with sounds from around the world, and a studio session by one of New Zealand's finest, the Wellington-based seven-piece band Fat Freddy's Drop.

The band call themselves a 'seven-headed soul monster', but their musical range also stretches to roots, dub, reggae and jazz. A fiercely independent group, they forned their own label The Drop in 1999 to release their first tracks. They made their reputation as a live band playing long improvisations, then in 2006 they released their first full studio album, Based on a True Story, which became an international hit. They now regularly tour summer festivals across the world and their second album, Dr Boondigga and the Big BW - a reference to major record labels - was released in 2009.
