Interviews with composers, c. 1992-1993
- Component identifier:
- Series 10
- Content Summary:
-
This series consists of interviews with composers conducted by Andrew Ford, primarily for his book, Composer to composer: conversations about contemporary music, (Sydney: Allen and Unwin, 1993). Seventeen of the composers interviewed appear in the book, which includes 30 composers (Knussen and Kueris are not included). Since they were not intended for broadcast, the interviews are often informal in style and most of them simply start without any preamble, title or date information. Unless otherwise stated, interviews are on 90 minute cassettes (although they may not use the whole tape). The sound quality of the recordings is good.
See also series 1/1-2 for correspondence with composers concerning the book.
