  • Philharmonia Orchestra: Baker

    Music

    15 April 2010

    Royal Festival Hall SE1 8XX[map]

    Richard Baker’s music is by turns attractive, witty and frightening. Learning to fly is a concertante work featuring that rare instrumental animal the basset clarinet (for which Mozart originally wrote his Clarinet Concerto). The edgy interplay between soloist and ensemble takes the music down many paths of adventure, some playful, some eerie. Never in doubt is the composer’s razor sharp ear, his sure control of timing and his ability to tell fantastical stories in sound. Presented by Julian Anderson in conversation with Richard Baker.

  • Philharmonia Orchestra: Haas

    Music

    20 May 2010

    Royal Festival Hall SE1 8XX[map]

    Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas has a passion for sound itself: his music rejoices in the euphonious proportions of the harmonic series, or the equal harmoniousness of Renaissance polyphony. The pieces played tonight show a rare sense of ease with the musical past and present, and pleasure in combining them in a highly original, sometimes surreal musical world. Presented by Julian Anderson in conversation with Georg Friedrich Haas.
