Ian Pace (piano): Elliott Carter, Betsy Jolas and new work

Ian Pace performs a typically vivid and ambitious programme of 20th and 21st century music, framed by early and late works by Elliott Carter, a towering figure in American music, alongside the beautiful but less well known music of Betsy Jolas..

The programme also includes Pace's own auseinandergerissene Hälften, a labyrinthine lecture-recital reflecting the composer-pianist-musicologist's 'torn' affinities.
