Classical: On The Air
1999
Overview
It's worth taking more time over Late Junction. Welcome it certainly is, for the brilliance of the individual items. But, after a few weeks, its problems sound like signs of a transitional stage in music broadcasting. This week's programmes have regularly dipped into a powerful Nusrat [Fateh Ali Khan] tribute album - BBC Music Magazine's pick of the year back in December 1998, but let that pass (hint: look to Africa for 1999). As one item among many it wasn't prominent enough to be a theme. Overall, the content lacked focus. Look at Monday's sequence. Anonymous 15th-century polyphony led into a meditative marimba solo by Evelyn Glennie, then Graham Fitkin's marimba- rich Hook. \"Guaranteed to get your feet tapping,\" said Sharp, and she was right - you had to, if only to keep the beat through Ensemble Bash's plodding accompaniment. The continuity broke as everything stopped for qawwali, and the next item, apparently a Bjork sound-alike with more vocal technique, turned out to be Bjork herself singing a snappy number she devised with Glennie. Back then to the Hilliard Ensemble's polyphony, and another Fitkin piece, this time short and quiet.
