T01231793886"Unquestionably the most exciting and radical composing talent in Britain." BBC Music Magazine The Hebrides Ensemble, Scotland’s leading contemporary music group, trace Sir Peter Maxwell Davies’ extraordinary career from radical enfant to leading cultural figure at the heart of the British establishment. In the centre of the programme stands Davies’ groundbreaking musical comedy, the enchanting Le Jongleur de Notre Dame. Based on an old French legend, the cheerfully modest work is part masque, part circus foolery and has revolutionised musical theatre by abandoning traditional boundaries between actors and musicians, sung and played dialogue, performers and audience. | |
