![]() | pilot episode THE POTTERY
In this pilot episode Chris Cundy goes to Winchcombe Pottery in Gloucestershire where the experimental composer Cornelius Cardew was born in 1936. We discover a cider jar that sheds light on Cardew's own past and reveals something about his approach to historic and mythological text in his music. Interviews are with potter Matt Grimmitt and singer and recording artist Gwenno Saunders. Narratives by poet and writer Adam Horovitz. |
