Composer in 3: Contemplations on Kafka
Matthew Kaner is Radio 3鈥檚 Embedded Composer in 3, in partnership with the Sound and Music organisation.
Listen to the third of Matthew鈥檚 weekly commissions for 70 at 70, a series of musical and cultural commissions to mark 70 years of 成人快手 Radio 3. Inspired by Hungarian composer Gy枚rgy Kurt谩g's miniatures or short works, 'Contemplations' is a setting of 3 works by Franz Kafka: 'The Passenger', 'At Night' and 'Distracted Observation'.
Matthew chose to set them for viola and bass baritone as this combination seemed to match the 'autumnal' air of the Kafka.
Musicians: Ashley Riches (bass-baritone) and Sarah-Jane Bradley (viola)
