Gerald Barry and Laurence Crane
Saturday 8 April 2006 23:00-1:00 (Radio 3)
Two very different approaches to contemporary music - with the manic rhythmic intensity of Gerald Barry, played by the Composers' Ensemble, juxtaposed with the deceptively simple tonality of Laurence Crane, played by Apartment House.
