Upbeat on Upbeat

Just had an interview with Eva Radich on Radio New Zealand Concert’s Upbeat programme. I talk about:

• In meinem letzten Leiden for Auckland Youth Orchestra (tomorrow in Whangarei, Sunday in Helensville, Friday 5 October in the Auckland Town Hall);
• Relish in Immature Bombast for Tim Noon, Jono Sawyer and the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra (Thu 23 May 2013 in the Auckland Town Hall);
• The Piano Tuner’s Performance Appraisal for Estrella, the eight-hand two-piano quartet (probably never getting performed again);
• and Song Sale Dunedin.

Eva joins the list of people who don’t like the title ‘Relish in Immature Bombast’. I suggest it’s still no less ridiculous than ‘Concerto for Organ, Drum Kit and Orchestra No 1’.
