sawylToday's edition of R3's Music Matters is well worth catching, if only for Petroc Trelawny's insightful interview with John Adams. They discuss artistic collaboration — something Adams describes as being, "...after a murder/suicide pact, the most painful think two people can undertake together" — whether Adams is precious about letting go of his pieces once they've been written and how to go about telling a conductor that they've completely failed to understand a piece of music. Adams also mentions that he's on a DHS watch list, probably because of controversy surrounding The Death of Klinghoffer, which seems somewhat bizarre.
In other related radio news, I'm looking forward to hearing the new series of Dr Who radio adventures that kick off tomorrow on BBC7. I really enjoyed the last series back in 2007, which combined some really excellent episodes — Human Resources was truly inspired — with an enjoyably sparky relationship between the Doctor and his no-nonsense sidekick, Lucie Miller, so I'm hoping for great things.
