Episode #2927
With Terry Riley and David Harrington
Monday, May 30, 2011
Terry Riley and David Harrington join John Schaefer for this New Sounds program. Riley is the composer of "In C," the landmark 1964 work that ushered in the style known as Minimalism. Harrington is leader of the Kronos Quartet, and helped to organize the all-star, once-in-a-lifetime cast who performed "In C" last season at Carnegie Hall.
For this episode, the three talk about approaches to the piece (whether to conduct it, or not) and highlight several recordings, including the Shanghai Film Orchestra's version, which was smuggled out of the country! Plus Riley's account of the strangest (and longest) performance of the piece...in Mexico City.
