Less parties, more disco? Maybe the world needs exactly that in a time of crisis and this man is about to deliver it in style. German pop wunderkind Roosevelt is returning with his third album "Polydans" these days and NBHAP head Norman called him up to talk about it and also reflect on the music that influenced him. As always the artist was also down to compile music for our playlist.
"Quartets 3+4" is an ode to the beauty of the string quartet. Placed in a contemporary context, Peter Gregson balances electronics with the traditional richness of the quartet. In doing so, he questions how we perceive and compose classical music in the 21st century. Elana Shapiro sits down with Gregson to discuss the Quartets album project, his experience of composing for film and more broadly, the past few years of his career.
