Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival: Sarah Hennies' Borrowed Light
Tom Service with recorded highlights from this year's festival including the Estonian Electronic Music Society Ensemble and the UK premiere of Sarah Hennies' Borrowed Light.
Tom Service presents more recordings from this year's event including the first UK performance by the American Mivos Quartet of Sarah Hennies' Borrowed Light, a fragile, gradually evolving, long-form work that demands close listening. Also featured tonight: the Estonian Electronic Music Society Ensemble (EMA) - part of their set at Bates Mill Photographic Studio last weekend; and marking the 90th birthday of the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra we hear their recording of Harrison Birtwistle's Night's Black Bird (2004), inspired by the melancholic songs of Elizabethan composer John Dowland.
