This forthcoming broadcast could I hope prompt one of the most searching discussions on the forum for some time. I've raised it here for want of a better place:
"In a major interview Tom Service talks to Berlin-born, British-raised Alexander Goehr, a key figure in contemporary music, who, after founding the so-called Manchester Group, took an individual path in composition, drawing on a rich European cultural heritage rather than rejecting it. He subsequently taught some of the next generation of British composers at Cambridge. Service explores Goehr's style, his influences and his musical legacy". (My emphasis).
