Total Immersion: The Music Of Louis Andriessen

Following on from Britten Sinfonia’s tribute to Dutch minimalist composer Louis Andriessen, BBC SO presents another of its day-long composer explorations. It culminates in an evening concert in which the orchestra under Clark Rundell plays the third part of Andriessen’s geometric-obsessed opera ‘De materie’ (1984-5), a suite from the surreal Spaghetti Western opera ‘ROSA, Death of a Composer’ (1994), ending with the UK premiere of orchestral piece ‘Mysterien’, inspired by the writings on Thomas à Kemplis. With Synergy Vocals and Fanny Alofs (speaker).
