Performance on 3 - Elliott Carter Centenary Concert

Suzy Klein introduces Oliver Knussen conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a concert given to mark the 100th birthday of Elliott Carter, who was born on 11 December 1908. Carter was initially encouraged to become a composer by Charles Ives, who had sold insurance to his parents, and since the 1940s his influence as composer, writer and teacher has spanned the globe. He is still writing now and has enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Knussen and with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
