This series was inspired by my dear friend Jo who suggested that I should find things to write about while we don’t have concerts to go to, and today it’s her choice of music, from her other home in Gabon. She said she and her friends had this song by the Gabonese musician Pierre Akendengué on loop in the car on one of her recent visits.
DUOS Change and Conflict
A tightly constructed programme of music by Graźyna Bacewicz. Paul HIndemith and Dmitri Shostokovich reflects both the musical and political moods of the 1930s and 40s.
