Harvey: Tombeau de Messiaen and Other Presences

Discovering Music

Available for over a year

As part of the 2006 麻豆社 Electric Proms, Discovering Music goes "Electric" exploring two mixed media electro-acoustic works by one of the most skilled and imaginative composers using the electronic medium today, Jonathan Harvey. The composer joins Stephen Johnson in the FREEDM Studio at London's Roundhouse, to delve into two pieces which span the last twelve years of his compositional career. Pianist, Clive Williamson and trumpeter, Markus Stockhausen are the two solo performers in Tombeau de Messiaen, a piece for piano and tape from 1994 and Other Presences for Trumpet and sampling keyboard, a work which Stockhausen premiered at this year's Cheltenham Festival of Music.
