New Releases
Tom Service presents recent releases of new music and a live recording of James Tenney's 1978 Saxony. And in Composers' Rooms, Sara Mohr-Pietsch visits Robin Holloway.
Tom Service dips into recent releases of new music chosen by composer-performer Kerry Andrew and vocalist Elaine Mitchener, ranging from the jazz-improv of the McCormack & Yarde Duo and the anarchic soundscape of Vicious circus, to the contrasting vocal textures of Luca Francesconi and David Lang.
In Composers' Rooms the Cambridge home of Robin Holloway is the latest destination for Sara Mohr-Pietsch. Together, she and the distinguished composer, teacher and writer rootle around his workspace.
Plus, leading contemporary music saxophonist Marcus Weiss plays James Tenney's 'Saxony', recorded live in May at Glasgow's Tectonics festival.
