BBC Philharmonic - Beethoven Symphony No. 9
In between are two works which play with fragments from musical history. After hearing a performance of Stravinsky?s Pulcinella, John Adams was inspired by the composer?s magpie?ish acquisition of older works. Adams?s source is Beethoven?s late string quartets ? Op. 131, Op. 135, and the Grosse Fuge ? moments of which he weaves into a 25?minute work for string quartet and orchestra. Williams, meanwhile, blurs and stretches the famous Byrd piece he sang as a boy treble.
