Music to my ears
Edward Gardner Conductor
I don’t usually have music on in the background really, but early in the lockdown I was listening to a lot of music every day and really enjoying it. I felt like a teenager again. Some of the things I listened to I was preparing, like Gubaidulina’s Über Liebe und Hass, which I’m hoping to do with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a year or so. It’s an incredible oratorio and a complete revelation. Her ability to combine the visceral with the spiritual is really extraordinary.
