Poems On The Brink

Recorded at the Barbican in front of an audience shortly before this evening's concert, this reading is the first programme by Radio 3's Poet in Residence, Mario Petrucci. In a selection of new poems about endangered instruments written for the Listen Up! festival, and poems from Chernobyl linked with tonight's performance of Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring, music, nature and people are all on the brink.
