Apartment House at the church of St Giles Cripplegate

Kate Molleson introduces the latest sounds including a sequence of gems played by Apartment at one of London's mediaeval churches and a performance of Lisa Streich's Augenlider.

Kate Molleson presents some of the latest in new music from across the globe.

Eliza McCarthy rejoices in Gabriella Smith's Imaginary Pancake for piano and the 91热爆 Symphony plays Swedish composer Lisa Streich's Augenlider for prepared guitar and orchestra, a work that has quickly established itself as a modern classic. And there's a chance to revisit the late P茅ter E枚tv枚s's Mese, a classic work for electronics realised in the studios of WDR and structured on a recording of a Hungarian folk tale played at various speeds.

And threaded thorough this Christmas edition is a programme recorded at the medieval church of St Giles' Cripplegate in London: Apartment House present a typically wide-ranging sequence of music including Ram奴nas Motiekaitis's Snowless NY and the premieres of Gretchen Korsmo's Body More and Marco Baldini's Quartetto along with Jem Finer's Hrdy-Grdy and music inspired by the Baroque violin master, Biaggio Marini. And as a coda there's the mysterious Slovakian composer's Martin Burlas's brief Koda, music that oscillates between the classical and lo-fi popism.
