PODCAST 123 - ELECTRONIC CLASSICAL MUSIC
This week’s show features just over a hour’s worth of electronic classical music from composers such as Charles Kœchlin (above), Edgar Varese and Paul Hindemith, using such early and arcane instrumentation as the Trautonium and Ondes Martenot, with pieces dating back to the Thirties. I’ve included Varese’s Deserts, a piece that caused Stravinsky-esque scandal when it was premiered in 1954 in Paris, as well as more contemporary pieces by Pierre-Alain Jaffrennou and George Crumb. There’s also time for a couple of tracks from the Beppe Loda compilation of old tracks played at Typhoon, an excerpt from the Sammy Osmo album and a bit of old disco.
