Claude Vivier's Lonely Child

Update: 2012-06-23

Description

The soprano Barbara Hannigan celebrates Claude Vivier’s profoundly moving work for soprano and orchestra, Lonely Child. Vivier conceived the piece as one single melody, with the entire orchestra "transformed into a timbre", to create "great beams of colour". Writer Paul Griffiths explains how Stockhausen, Gregorian chant and the traditional music of Bali all contributed to this composer’s distinctive soundworld.
