Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival
Saturday 7 January 2006 23:00-1:00 (Radio 3)
The first of five broadcasts from the festival. This first edition spotlights some of the featured composers and performers, drawn from the customary wide international range for which HCMF is recognised.
Helmut Lachenmann frames the programme with his temA and Salut für Caudwell, with Germany's Ensemble Recherche and Ensemble Modern. From the Netherlands, the Ives Ensemble play Christopher Fox and the Japanese Ensemble Nomad bring the delicate music of Jo Kondo to life in their first UK appearance. And at the centre of the programme, the virtuosity of the Neue Vocalsolisten from Stuttgart, with a recent work from Lucia Ronchetti.
