Karen Tanaka, Unsuk Chin

Karen Tanaka's Crystalline II - played by Signe Bakke - and a recent performance of Unsuk Chin's award-winning Violin Concerto, featuring the BBC SO and Jennifer Koh.

Karen Tanaka's beautiful yet brittle piano piece Crystalline echoes Messiaen's piano writing at a distance but conjures an inner-world of reflections and restraint. And from the BBC's 2011 Total Immersion events, a performance of Unsuk Chin's Grawemeyer-award-winning Violin Concerto, played by Jennifer Koh and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
