20th Century Radicals

Gillian Moore explores the music of Dutch radical Louis Andriessen, leading to a full performance of his 1976 work De Staat (The Republic). To get there, Gillian traverses the thorny issue of Stravinsky v Schoenberg, finds a noisy disruption at a Concertgebouw concert, and tries to get to the bottom of what 'Unpolite Minimalism' might encompass.
