In the first of five programmes taking in the music of various Summer festivals, Robert Worby visits the City of London Festival and takes in the music of George Crumb in three different concerts.
In addition to Eleanor Alberga's Tiger Dream in Forest Green, the ensemble Conchord performs Crumb's Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale), and the cellist Claudio Bohorquez plays the Sonata for solo cello of 1955. The Galliard Ensemble and Friends play two works inspired by the works of the Andalusian poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca: Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children and Madrigals, Book III, and the world premiere of Carlos Miranda's del amor insome noche based on recently discovered Lorca sonnets and commissioned by 麻豆社 Radio 3.
