Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival
Saturday 28 January 2006 23:00-1:00 (Radio 3)
The elusive choral and instrumental music of Giacinto Scelsi, whose centenary fell in 2005, forms a thread through this programme.
Plus, equally individual voices from successive generations - Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Helmut Lachenmann, who was 70 in November 2005. Featuring performances by Mieko Kanno, the New London Chamber Choir and Ensemble Modern.
