London Contemporary Orchestra make their Spitalfields Music debut as they showcase three unique musical mavericks.
Radical filmmakers the Brothers Quay's Street of Crocodiles, which inhabits their characteristically nightmarish world, is accompanied by Lech Jankowski's revised score. Parallel worlds are also the theme of Claude Vivier's Zipangu, referencing the island that Kubla Khan sought to conquer, and which to the composer represents 'the symbol of immeasurable wealth, lying just out of reach.' Schnittke's Concerto Grosso No. 1 skilfully fuses the disparate styles of baroque, modern and the banal into an essay on the subversion of conventions, constantly wrong-footing the listener.
