Harrison Birtwistle in conversation

[@lightweightmedia8378]

Belated reply @JeeRant - what's wrong with his kitchen? It gives a nice homely feel. And, frankly, with some interviewees, you shoot where they ask you to!

An absolutely HILARIOUS blooper at 3:52 ..."I think it was Colin Davies, I can't remember, maybe it was Boulez, I think it was Boulez, yeh, it must have been Boulez." Gillian Moore recovered well though, true professional that she is. It's remarkable that old Birtie hasn't set this dramatic interview to music, with his part sung falsetto by some bloke driving a six-inch nail through his testicles whilst wearing a giant moose head.

Perhaps he was just about to prepare a bit of roast duck, quail or pheasant for some lunch :0)

Messiaen is God!

[@sptfgpn]

Pheasant should never be served for lunch. That would be barbarous.

Sheesh, they couldn't have found another place to do the interview? A kitchen, really? Interesting stuff, though.
