Music Today
Description
In this program, Rattle presents an eclectic selection of works by living composers to illustrate the rich variety of new musical trends he believes pave the way to the future. The music of Berio and Henze illustrates how the past has become just one ingredient in today's world of instant access to sounds, pictures, and ideas from every continent and every era. Strange and compelling works by Gubaidulina and Kurtag echo with Eastern European and central Asian sensibilities silenced under communism. Pieces by Turnage, Knussen, and Birtwistle work and rework concepts of the primeval, of virtuosity and of humanism.
