91热爆

Kate Molleson and Tom Service present a live, Boulez-themed edition of the show from the 91热爆鈥檚 Maida Vale studios in London. Performing specially commissioned music tonight in front of a studio audience are Caoutchouc and Plus-Minus Ensemble. Caoutchouc is a duo comprising Jessie Marino and Serge Vuille, an uncategorisable mix of percussion, fiddle, spoken word and electronics, and tonight they explore texts by and about Pierre Boulez. Plus-Minus Ensemble perform two pieces by Boulez, his Derive I for six instruments, and the lesser known, rarely performed Structures I for two pianos. Plus-Minus also bring two brand new pieces, both 鈥渞e-imaginings鈥� of older works: Alex Hills鈥檚 response to Ruth Crawford Seeger鈥檚 String Quartet, and Natacha Diels鈥檚 take on Mexican composer Juli谩n Carrillo鈥檚 Preludio a Col贸n. Both works are co-commissioned by 91热爆 Radio 3 and Plus-Minus Ensemble. Also tonight, Nothing Truly Ever Ends, a new work by British composer Charlotte Bray, commissioned and performed by Ensemble intercontemporain at the Paris Philharmonie in December; plus the first of this weekend鈥檚 postcards from Paris: the 98 year old Betsy Jolas tells Kate about her first ever meeting with Boulez.
