SAT SAT 12:15 Music Feature b00mvd9n (Listen) SAT Who Was Carlos Kleiber? SAT SAT Ivan Hewett explores the musical enigma of the late SAT conductor Carlos Kleiber. Despite huge demand and adulatory SAT critical praise for his work, he gave very few performances SAT and never granted an interview, increasing speculation about SAT his art and personality. Ivan talks to some of the few who SAT knew Kleiber well and attempts to explain his mercurial and SAT electrifying genius. SAT SAT While most great conductors have strongly-defined profiles, SAT views and attitudes, Kleiber, the son of an equally feted SAT conductor was and remains an enigma, with rumours about him SAT circulating far more freely than facts. Primarily a recluse, SAT he could only be persuaded into the public arena, at least SAT since the late 1980s, by the combination of a momentous SAT event, long rehearsal times and a huge fee. These SAT performances, though, were nothing less than life-changing: SAT concerts with the impact of religious events. Kleiber was SAT also one of the few maestros who, although very demanding at SAT rehearsal, was adored by the musicians who played for him - SAT and by other conductors. SAT SAT But why did he give so few performances? Why his obvious SAT insecurities? Did he really only make records 'when the SAT freezer ran out of food'? And what about Kleiber the man - SAT his life, his friends, his loves, his obsessions?

White with music by John Adams, Charles Ives, Steve SAT Reich, Tom Waits, Dvorak, Rodgers and Hart and Bernstein. SAT SAT Producer's Note SAT SAT ‘Deep city, tall city, worn city...city knowing and naive’ SAT is how the poet Kenneth Fearing described New York. For this SAT week’s Words and Music I’ve chosen poetry, prose and music SAT reflecting New York in all its moods. The programme starts SAT with one of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from his SAT 1957 musical ‘West Side Story’ and Emma Lazarus’ ‘The New SAT Colossus’, the sonnet inscribed on the base of the Statue of SAT Liberty. The speed and excitement of the city is heard in SAT the poem by Kenneth Fearing and the steam-driven opening SAT movement of Steve Reich’s ‘Different Trains’ which includes SAT the sound of brakes, whistles and the cries of the train’s SAT guard. Walt Whitman’s poem ‘Crossing Brooklyn Ferry’ about SAT the common experience of those in the past and future city SAT leads into Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’. SAT SAT Life in Harlem is heard in a section from Langston Hughes’ SAT ‘Montage of a Dream Deferred’ and Duke Ellington’s ‘Echoes SAT of Harlem’. Sara Teasdale’s poem ‘Broadway’ takes place in SAT the quiet hour before the shows begin and alongside it SAT you’ll hear , from the 1952 Broadway Cast of Rodger and SAT Hart’s ‘Pal Joey’, ‘I Could Write a Book’. The city at SAT night can be heard in Charles Ives’ ‘Central Park in the SAT Dark’ and Allen Ginsberg’s ‘My Sad Self’. SAT SAT Foreign writers and composers respond to New York too in SAT Dvorak’s ‘Suite in A Major’ (written in the city in 1894) SAT and Federico Garcia Lorca’s poem ‘Dawn’. SAT SAT No programme about New York today would be complete if it SAT didn’t reflect the events of September 11th 2001. And so the SAT title of this programme is taken from a book by E.B. White, SAT the New Yorker writer and author of ‘Charlotte’s Web’. SAT During ‘Here is New York’ you’ll hear an extraordinary SAT passage, written in 1949, describing how the new experience SAT of planes flying over the city had led to New York being SAT vulnerable for the first time and the intimation of SAT mortality that brought. ‘Here is New York’ ends with a poem SAT by C.K. Williams about the ‘fearful burden to be borne’ SAT after the fall of the Twin Towers and the final section from SAT John Adams’ tribute to the victims of 9/11, ‘On the SAT Transmigration of Souls’. The elegy, which the composer SAT described as a ‘memory space’, blends the choral singing of SAT memorial inscriptions, street sounds and voices naming those SAT who died - it was first heard in New York a year after the SAT tragedy and at the Proms the following summer.

SAT SAT SUN SUNDAY 08 AUGUST 2010 SUN SUN 00:00 The Early Music Show b00n6t8d (Listen) SUN Carl Heinrich Graun SUN SUN Catherine Bott delves into the life and the intriguing music SUN of mid-18th century German composer Carl Heinrich Graun - SUN not necessarily a famous name these days, but in his time, SUN along with Hasse, considered to be the most important German SUN composer of Italian opera. SUN SUN As a young man, Graun had his fingers in many musical pies, SUN and by the time he reached his early 20s, was an SUN accomplished singer, cellist, keyboard-player and composer. SUN He spent nine happy years in the service of the Duke of SUN Brunswick, where, in 1733, he came onto Prince Frederick of SUN Prussia's radar, and before long, Graun was given a plum job SUN at Frederick's court. Soon after that, the music-loving SUN Prince Frederick acceded to the throne, and, as Frederick SUN the Great, began to challenge the world on all fronts. While SUN the new emperor prepared his armies to invade Silesia, his SUN trusty Kapellmeister Graun set off to scout the opera houses SUN of Italy and bring back the best talent to Berlin. SUN SUN Frederick was an ardent opera enthusiast and was determined SUN to turn Berlin into an international operatic centre. To SUN that end, he commissioned two new stages from architect and SUN painter George Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, both inaugurated SUN within 12 months of one another, with new productions of SUN operas by Graun. The first was Graun's setting of Rodelinda SUN for the theatre at the royal residence in the Berliner SUN Stadtschloss, and the second, in December 1742, was for the SUN opera house in central Berlin, at Unter den Linden, which SUN opened to huge critical praise with Graun's magnificent SUN Cleopatre et Cesare. SUN SUN Graun's music expresses the moving, the tender and the SUN imploring; his simplification of certain aspects of the SUN operatic structure, like the arioso (a style of singing SUN somewhere between aria and recitative) and even ballet, SUN point to the next generation of composers, especially the SUN most famous 18th-century musical reformer of all - Gluck.

Her novels so far have been historically SUN based, and include 'The Lady and the Unicorn', inspired by a SUN famous set of medieval tapestries in the Cluny Museum in SUN Paris. Her latest book, 'Remarkable Creatures', tells the SUN story of two early 19th-century female fossil-hunters whose SUN remarkable discoveries pre-dated Darwin and upset the SUN establishment status quo. SUN SUN Tracy Chevalier , who grew up in Washington DC and was SUN educated at Oberlin College, Ohio, and then at the SUN University of East Anglia, has lived in London for over 20 SUN years. She played the clarinet as a child, and her music SUN choices begin with two extracts from symphonies featuring a SUN clarinet solo - Schubert's 'Unfinished' and Dvorak's 'From SUN the New World' - as well as Brahms's Second Clarinet Sonata. SUN Her choices also include two much-loved piano pieces, SUN Schubert's Impromptu in G flat major played by Canadian SUN pianist Paul Berkowitz and Schumann's 'Of Strange Lands and SUN People', played by Alfred Brendel; as well as the Prologue SUN to Leonard Bernstein's masterpiece 'West Side Story'; a SUN piece of plainchant from a medieval part-book found in the SUN Spanish monastery of Montserrat, which inspired Tracy SUN Chevalier while she was writing 'The Lady and the Unicorn', SUN and 'Once in a Lifetime' by Talking Heads.

SUN SUN Choral music with a French flavour in this Prom matinee with SUN the BBC Symphony Chorus conducted by its Director, Stephen SUN Jackson. SUN SUN Bookends to the programme are two masterworks from the 20th SUN century a cappella choral repertoire. Daniel-Lesur's Le SUN Cantique de Cantiques, composed in 1953, is a SUN beautifully-shaped and lusciously-scored setting of words SUN from the Biblical Song of Songs, in which the eroticism of SUN the ancient texts is portrayed in music of dreamy SUN sensuality. Poulenc's Figure Humaine confronts the dark SUN reality of life in Occupied France and is one of the most SUN thrilling moments in the entire choral repertoire. SUN SUN In between, two works for brass by Toru Takemitsu - music of SUN harmonic elegance and dream-like stillness, and a new piece SUN by Stephen Montague, exploring the joys of language and SUN human utterance. SUN SUN Daniel-Lesur: Le cantique des cantiques SUN Takemitsu: Garden Rain* SUN Stephen Montague: Wilful Chants (BBC commission: world SUN premiere) SUN Takemitsu: Signals from Heaven* SUN Poulenc: Figure humaine SUN SUN BBC Symphony Chorus SUN Soloists from Trinity College of Music Chamber Choir SUN London Brass SUN O Duo SUN Stephen Jackson (conductor) SUN *Andrew Crowley (conductor) SUN SUN 17:45 Discovering Music b00t83k6 (Listen) SUN Nielsen's 4th Symphony - The Inextinguishable SUN SUN Tom Service is joined by the BBC Philharmonic and conductor SUN John Storgards to explore Nielsen's 4th Symphony, one of the SUN most stirring and intriguing works the Dane ever composed.

'Mozart always smiled; his music also SUN smiled,' said Messiaen of Mozart - which explains the title SUN of his Mozart tribute Un sourire.

A meticulous, experienced French polisher, she knew SUN how to apply thin alchemical layers of varnishes and SUN lacquers to make surfaces gleam with a deep, inner shine. AL SUN Kennedy describes the charcteristic "cheap whip and spring SUN of young pine, or the dry and intelligent complications of SUN restored mahogany, the sharp density of beech, the SUN melancholy heat in oak", all qualities that were familiar to SUN her grandmother. SUN SUN In this moving testimony to her grandmother's hard won craft SUN and exacting skill, AL Kennedy honours the work of a SUN generation of artisan craftsmen and women.

SUN SUN 22:00 Sunday Feature b00t6vcm (Listen) SUN After a Dancemaker Dies SUN SUN An urgent and lively documentary asking can - and should - SUN modern dances survive the deaths of their makers? Isn't SUN dance an art of the present tense? Presented by the dance SUN programme-maker, Frances Byrnes. SUN SUN Merce Cunningham died last summer. So did the German SUN dance-theatre maker Pina Bausch. SUN Both grandees made masterworks which have been seminal in SUN the development of modern dance theatre. Both made a world SUN onstage which did not exist anywhere else, and kingdoms off SUN stage too: typically for the pioneers of modern movement SUN both established their own companies, named after them and SUN dancing only their works. Both choreographers changed their SUN works, for different dancers, spaces, times. Now they leave SUN recordings of the art, not the art itself. The art only SUN exists in live performance. SUN SUN This programme visits the Cunningham Studio in New York and SUN Tanztheater Wuppertal to find out from their exceptional SUN movers and shakers (Robert Swinston, Patricia Lent in the SUN US, Dominique Mercy in Germany): What will happen to the SUN dances? What qualities will make a few of their dances live SUN on? Will having a Legacy Plan (as the Merce Cunningham Trust SUN has) help? SUN SUN We visit Josephine Ann Endicott (re-staging Kontakthof after SUN Bausch) and Jeannie Steele (reviving RainForest without SUN Cunningham): what are the challenges to keeping the dance SUN alive - neither in aspic, nor overly altered? SUN SUN 22:45 Words and Music b00t6vcp (Listen) SUN The Old Refrain SUN SUN Can you step into the same river twice? The Greek SUN philosopher, Heraclitus, didn’t think so. And yet we seem to SUN be fascinated by the idea of repetition whether it’s SUN philosophically possible or not! Rhythm is meaningless SUN without it. It gives shape and subtlety to music and poetry SUN and by its modulated insistence often unlocks the door to SUN our most complex feelings and thoughts. We use past SUN experience as a tool to understand what’s happening to us in SUN the present and what might happen to us in the future. SUN SUN This week’s Words and Music is all about this kind of SUN refrain. Whether it appears in a poem such as Easter, 1916 SUN by Yeats or in the idée fixe of Berlioz’ Symphonie SUN Fantastique; whether its anguished as in William Empson’s SUN Villanelle or wonderfully ingenious as in Dana Gioia’s SUN double triolet – The Country Wife. The actors Samuel West SUN and Nancy Carroll lead the revels and will make sure SUN recurrence does not make for dullness though this is SUN unlikely with a cast that also includes Brahms, Tavener, SUN Ravel and Mozart.

MON MON Matthew Sweet guests are two writers who have re-interpreted MON Byron for the twenty-first century.Tom Holland has written a MON novel based on the myth of Byron's life and work called "The MON Vampyre".

He founded the Schutz Choir and the London MON Classical Players, and was Music Director of Kent Opera for MON 15 years before taking his place on the podium with some of MON the great orchestras of Europe and America. The son of an MON Oxford Vice-Chancellor, Norrington was put to work in MON academic publishing before the musical imperative took over. MON His approach differed from other historically informed MON leaders, concentrating less on old instruments and more on MON texture of sound. He has outlasted many of his noisier MON contemporaries, a fact more remarkable since he was told two MON decades ago that he'd developed a brain tumour and had only MON months to live. Norrington talks to Norman Lebrecht about MON his early years growing up in Oxford and Canada, how he made MON the decision to become a musician, and how he battled ill MON health to come through fighting.

TUE TUE The conductor Ingo Metzmacher and his Berlin orchestra evoke TUE the spirit of turn-of the century Vienna with an orchestral TUE dream sequence, a romantic concerto and an epic symphony. TUE TUE Gustav Mahler had a profound influence on the younger TUE generation of Austrian composers, and Franz Schreker was no TUE exception. In his operas he experimented with sounds and TUE colours in a highly expressive way, and this orchestral TUE interlude could almost be a counterpart to Mahler's TUE nocturnal movements in his Seventh Symphony. In his youth, TUE Erich Korngold was mentored by Mahler, who pronounced the TUE younger composer to be a genius when only 9 years old. After TUE leaving Vienna for Hollywood he focussed on the movies, but TUE his Violin Concerto marked a return to the concert platform TUE and is suffused with lush harmonies recalling his early days TUE in Austria, as well as cleverly incorporating themes from TUE his film scores. It remains one of his most popular works. TUE TUE Mahler's symphonies are at once highly personal and TUE universal, running the full gamut of human emotions. The TUE Seventh includes bittersweet questions on the meaning of TUE existence, a night-walk, a nightmarish scherzo, a magical TUE serenade and an exuberant celebratory finale.

TUE TUE Award-winning German broadcasters Thomas Franke and Gesine TUE Dornbluth explore the seemingly unstoppable rising tide of TUE English language being used today in German, and recent - TUE not entirely successful - attempts to mount a resistance. TUE TUE When Deutsche Bahn, the German railway operator, announced TUE in February that no longer would their stations have "Kiss TUE and Ride Zones" or offer a "Call-a-Bike" service, it became TUE a minor international news item. Because, for generations TUE now, contemporary German has become littered with forms of TUE English words. And they're not just those ubiquitous TUE neologisms such as "Handy" for mobile phone and "Beamer" for TUE projector. Says Thomas "in daily German you find a "dating TUE agentur", where "singles" are looking for partners, um ein TUE "Date" zu haben. If they are successful they maybe have a TUE "candlelightdinner" and later they hopefully practise "safer TUE sex". In the morning they go to the "Back shop" around the TUE corner to buy bread." And, he adds, when he recently called TUE someone at the topically Germanising Deutsche Bahn, his TUE secretary regretted that he was "in einem Meeting". So much TUE for new German brooms.

This 2000 mile divide, running through TUE remote and dangerous terrain, is the setting for one of the TUE world's biggest modern migrations. Some 12 million TUE Mexican-born people now live in America, many of them TUE illegally, and the number is set to rise significantly. TUE TUE As illegal immigrants and drugs pour north, guns and money TUE are smuggled south. The American government is busy TUE fortifying the border - with walls and fences backed by TUE watch towers, video surveillance, unmanned drones, and a TUE growing army of border guards. TUE TUE Claudine LoMonaco takes a trip along the border to examine TUE how life and culture is changing. She describes how the TUE twinned border towns have been transformed by the TUE militarisation of the region. Some of these Mexican cities TUE have not only exploded in size but have also seen an TUE extraordinary rise in murder, violence, kidnapping and TUE extortion as the Mexican army wages war on the drug cartels. TUE She travels with the border patrol in search of the TUE traditional desert crossings. TUE TUE The programme observes the wall in its fully fortified might TUE as it divides the cities of Tijuana and San Diego, and finds TUE it again in the middle of an Indian Reservation cutting the TUE traditional desert tribal lands in half. What role has this TUE border played in the American imagination and how does it TUE play out in the cultures on both sides? TUE TUE Claudine reports on how this multi-million dollar divide has TUE changed the habits and fortunes of the illegal migrants. Why TUE do so many continue to risk death and terrible injury in the TUE American wilderness? TUE TUE Producer - Anthony Denselow TUE (Repeat).

TUE TUE In today's programme, the Hungarian journalist Valeria Toth TUE measures out her life in passports. We hear of the multiple TUE passports of communist Hungary, including red for travel to TUE Warsaw Pact nations, blue for travel outside the Soviet bloc TUE and red with a blue stamp for non-aligned Yugoslavia. TUE Special one-way passports are used to expel troublesome TUE citizens and passport anxiety continues into 1989, when TUE thousands of East Germans enter Hungary and the ditch beside TUE the border fills with discarded passports.

WED WED 12:00 Composer of the Week b00td8hx (Listen) WED George Frideric Handel (1685-1759), The Opera Divo WED WED iii) The Opera Divo WED Donald Macleod and Suzanne Aspden of Oxford University place WED Handel in the London opera scene of the early 18th century, WED a world fraught with feuding both on and off the stage. In WED this charged atmosphere Handel walked a tight-rope existence WED as he veered from soothing to shocking his captive opera WED audience. WED WED If you are in search of a good role model, an example of a WED life well spent, well navigated, look to George Frideric WED Handel's seventy-four years. From day one this divinely WED musical and decisive Saxon instinctively knew where to take WED himself and who to please. WED WED Donald Macleod is joined by Suzanne Aspden, a Handel expert WED from Oxford University armed with the latest in Handel WED scholarship. Faced with hours of Handel's sublime music and WED the composer's eventful life story they've whisked up a WED focus on Handel the borrower of his own and others' music - WED with a look at Agrippina the opera that so impressed Venice, WED and an electric peformance of Dixit Dominus. They discuss WED Handel the politician, how the composer was adopted in WED England and found long-term favour with the new Hanoverian WED monarchy. WED WED Some of the most arresting moments from Handel's operas WED Radamisto, Admeto, Partenope, and Ariodante dominate the WED third programme, a look at Handel the resourceful 'Opera WED divo'. And with ravishing music from his oratorios Esther, WED Saul, Samson and Messiah, Handel as 'Man of God' is also WED exposed, revealing the composer's ability to twist a ban on WED staging Biblical texts to his advantage. WED WED Today the spirit of Handel lives on and in the final WED programme 'The Idea of Handel' Donald and Suzanne broadcast WED 'The Anthem for the Foundling Hospital', the Violin Sonata WED in D Op.1 and a saucy aria from Semele, as they exhibit how WED the reputation of this great composer has evolved over the WED centuries.

Sean Street visits the site and with WED William Gilbert, the chief archaeologist, reveals the life WED of the settlers, their relations with the indigenous people WED and the lands they left behind. WED WED We hear how a 'plantation' was established by the London and WED Bristol Company of Merchant Venturers in 1610 and the first WED governor was a Bristol merchant named John Guy. The WED settlement they founded was the first post-Norse European WED settlement in Newfoundland, the first English settlement in WED what is now Canada and one of the first European settlements WED anywhere in North America - 10 years earlier than the WED arrival of the Mayflower in Massachusetts. WED WED William Gilbert takes Sean to the remains of the colony WED which were discovered in 1995 and have been excavated every WED summer since. Four early 17th century buildings have been WED revealed, including the dwelling house and storehouse WED erected by Guy's party in the autumn of 1610. They examine WED some of the 126,000 artefacts which have been uncovered, WED giving a remarkably full picture of the life, business and WED death in Cupids Cove. Some details are surprising: the WED settlement's fortified wall faces the sea - and Sean learns WED that the fear was of attack by European pirates rather than WED by native people. WED WED As interesting and significant as the artefacts are the WED documents: several letters and reports, dating from 1610, WED survive, as does John Guy's journal. Indeed, the site was WED discovered because the correspondence provided clues to its WED whereabouts. Reading these Sean learns that sixty-two people WED spent the winter of 1612-1613 at Cupids Bay, and that there WED were eight deaths. One man confessed to a murder in WED Rochester and Guy wrote that he 'died of thought'. There was WED also one birth that winter - a boy born to Nicholas Guy and WED his wife on 27 March, 1613 - he was the first English child WED born in what is now Canada. WED WED Sean hears how the artefacts, too, tell personal stories: WED There are two silver threads that, because of the sumptuary WED laws, almost certainly come from the jacket of John Guy WED himself. Guy specifically mentions some amber beads that he WED brought with him - and one of these has been found. These WED were very rare, so it is most probably his. There are WED references to the establishment of a fur trade with the WED Beothuk people who lived 18 miles away, and a request in the WED winter of 1619/1620 from Thomas Rowley that 'hatchets, WED looking glasses, beads, a drum and shoemakers' thread' be WED sent to Cupers Cove as 'truck for savages'. Hundreds of WED glass trade beads have been found, and William Gilbert takes WED Sean Street to the island where the first contact was made. WED WED Sean Street visits Cupids Cove and tells the little-known WED story of the earliest English settlement in Canada. He finds WED that, four hundred years later, people are still there - and WED talks to a woman whose potato patch has become an WED archaeological site of great importance.

THU THU The programme also includes the London premiere of Julian THU Anderson's capricious, contrast-packed 'Fantasias' a work THU which showcases the plentiful talent in each of the NYO's THU instrumental sections in turn.

Chopin wrote his concerto at the age THU of 19 while crazily in love with an opera singer, but it's THU the work itself which is the object of adoration for THU tonight's soloist Nelson Freire who describes himself as THU having something of a 'crush' on the piece after first THU hearing it as a teenager. It provides a suitable celebration THU to mark the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth. THU THU The three other works on the programme chart French music THU over a century of changing musical tastes, beginning in 1844 THU with Berlioz's vivid evocation of a swashbuckling pirate THU adventure in his overture 'Le corsaire'. By 1912 the tides THU of modernism influenced Ravel's lavishly scored, pastoral THU ballet Daphnis and Chloë, with its famous opening soundscape THU of dawn breaking over the forest canopy, and by the 1930s THU Roussel's Third Symphony reflected the trends of THU neo-classicism.

FRI FRI The dark side of the south of France is less familiar than FRI tales of sundowners on the verandah and hot-baked croissants FRI from the boulangerie as told in many an expat narrative. FRI Delving beneath the surface of his adoptive Cevennes region, FRI a land famously chronicled in Robert Louis Stevenson's FRI classic 'Travels with a Donkey', fellow novelist and poet FRI Adam Thorpe finds a hardy people, inured by centuries of FRI poverty to dealing with tough times. And with the last local FRI factory about to shut its doors and transfer its manufacture FRI of safety footwear to Tunisia, the story's about to get a FRI great deal darker. Unemployment here is amongst the highest FRI in France. With the factory - once a proud locally-built FRI business - now sold on and on to owners in Italy, and FRI finally to Anglo-American financiers, the grand-pere patron FRI who built the company spectacularly committed suicide. He'd FRI rather end it all than see hundreds of his fellow citizens FRI thrust into jobless purgatory in this one-industry town. FRI FRI And the population is changing. Wealthy suburbanites and FRI incomers arrive to buy up property and set about FRI 700-year-old stones with excavators to create pools that FRI will suck the watertable dry. FRI FRI Threat hangs heavy in the air: many locals told Adam they'd FRI only speak on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals - FRI violence is widespread in this community of hunting men. FRI FRI Yet within their hard-bitten resourcefulness, the men and FRI women of the Cevennes find a degree of serenity - they never FRI expect riches, and the tough climate (deluged by biblical FRI rains in winter, parched by unrelieved sun for the rest of FRI the year) means they're used to making the best of the FRI worst, and never expecting too much of anyone. And there are FRI positive notes: here small, specialist vineyards and organic FRI producers are flourishing, and if the problems are legion, FRI there's less dismay than you'd expect; 'after all,' they FRI say, 'look at the landscape, look at the sunshine! Who can FRI complain?' FRI FRI Producer Simon Elmes FRI (repeat).

FRI FRI 23:15 World on 3 b00t6yhs (Listen) FRI Mary Ann Kennedy with sounds from across the globe, plus a FRI studio session with Jah Wobble and the Nippon Dub Ensemble. FRI FRI 'Japanese Dub' is Jah Wobble's second project mixing FRI traditional oriental music with powerful dub basslines. The FRI legendary Public Image Limited bass player has assembled a FRI UK-Japanese group including percussionist Joji Hirota and FRI koto player Keiko Kitamura. Wobble writes: 'For some time FRI I've fancied having a crack at merging Japanese music with FRI dub. I was very happy with the Chinese Dub album that I put FRI together a couple of years ago, and was confident that I FRI could do a similar job with Japanese styles. It can't be FRI denied that traditional Japanese music is heavily influenced FRI by Chinese music. However, paradoxically, there is something FRI unique and unmistakable about Japanese music. To an extent FRI this is due to their distinctive chromatic modes, but above FRI all the Japanese are incredible reductionists. Somehow they FRI take other cultures' 'stuff,' and in their own respectful FRI way, rationalise it, reduce it, and thereby make it their FRI own.'. FRI
