Performance on 3

29 May 2007

Halle Orchestra

Kate Bott introduces a concert recorded last week at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall by the Halle Orchestra conducted by Mark Elder.

Masterpieces by Mozart and Haydn frame two works that pay homage to the city of Vienna, where the composers lived and worked. Stravinsky's Violin Concerto is brilliant instrumental theatre full of echoes of Viennese classicism, while HK Gruber's Dancing in the Dark is a dizzying car crash where Viennese tradition collides with Fred Astaire.

Leonidas Kavakos (violin)
Halle Orchestra
Mark Elder (conductor)

Night Waves

Extreme Green

Kenan Malik begins a series of special Night Waves explorations into the fringes of ecological design and research.

From the 'Earthship' in Fife, Scotland, to the idea of prefabricated living pods, architects and green activists are re-thinking our living environments in the most radical ways. In the past, these objects might have been dismissed as outlandish, but in today's world, do they offer conceivable design solutions?
