Hear and Now

Ivan Hewett is joined by composer James Clarke to debate why composers who are highly regarded in Germany don't always have the same exposure in the UK. They discuss the works of Dieter Schnebel, Hans-Joachim Hespos and Mathias Spahlinger, as well as a trio of younger composers whose work has been featured at the Darmstadt International Summer Course for New Music.
