William Crozier
Sunday 11 November 2007 12:00-13:00 (Radio 3)
Michael Berkeley talks to Scottish-born artist William Crozier, whose works are currently on show in London for the first time in ten years.
Crozier's figurative paintings of objects or landscapes are characterised by vibrant colour and great emotional intensity, and he sees the still life in the same terms as chamber music or the songs of Mahler.
His musical choices encompass Wagner with Siegfried's Funeral March, a Charpentier mass, a Mozart horn concerto, a Shostakovich string quartet, James MacMillan's Veni, veni Emmanuel, Charlie Parker's Ornithology and a piece of flamenco.
