Morning Concert: The Music of Peter Sculthorpe (July 28, 1983)

This audio is available in streaming format

Peter Sculthorpe (born April 19, 1929, in Launceton, Tasmania) is one of the most renowned composers living in Australia. His informed incorporation of Asian musical elements in his own output makes for a subtle and remarkable blend of styles and sonorities, sensitively accomplished. In San Francisco, his music has been championed by the Kronos Quartet, and on a visit to the Bay Area in 1983, in order to witness the premiere of a piece composed for that ensemble, Sculthorpe talked with Charles Amirkhanian. The two talk about the Australian and Asian influences in his music, Sculthorpe’s forays into opera and musical theater, as well as his meeting Percy Grainger when Sculthorpe was only a child. In addition, a number of Sculthorpe’s work are heard, including his “Piano Concerto”. (from KPFA Folio)
