- thanks for this, Roehre.

Babbitt, Sciarrino, Donatoni, Birtwitle: all unmissable for me, and some other composers whose work intrigues me as well - AND in the mainstream evening slot, too!

I remember how much I enjoyed Harrison's extended Celan Cycle: Pulse Shadows played by the the Arditti quartet and the Nash Ensemble and sung beautifully by Claron McFadden when I attended the ISCM Festival in Manchester back in 1998.
