Joyous but sharp - Rattle, LSO, New Music Britain
[…] "modern" but yes he was, in his own way. Rattle's gift for intelligent musical juxtapositions is one of his strengths, from which we can learn.Rattle and Mark-Anthony Turnage have worked together for decades, too. He premiered Turnage's Remembering 'in memoriam Evan Scofield' with the LSO at the Barbican last year (read more here) and with the Berliner Philharmoniker in Berlin.
