Description
Orchestral music takes the spotlight on this week’s show, as we survey new and forthcoming recordings of three remarkable—and distinct—concertos by Agata Zubel, Morton Feldman and the late Christopher Rouse. We also check out the latest from Lao Dan, Ambrose Akinmusire and The Bastard Kings of Samadhi, new guitar and piano music from the US and Japan, a neo-Baroque piece from Michael Nyman, and Alex Hills’s unusual choral ode to Flatland. A touch of Seattle electronica rounds out the playlist, devoted entirely to new releases. Radical new music from the Northwest and beyond, with host Mike Schell.
