[136.1] TWO ON THREE

There is an unexpected outing for Frank Zappa's 'Wind Quintet' on the BBC Radio 3 lunchtime concert (starts 13:00, featured around 13.45) on Wednesday 7 May. Later that afternoon there is a chance to hear George Benjamin's 'In Memoriam Olivier Messiaen'. Also, for those who missed Norman Lebrecht's feature on why contemporary classical music seems so isolated from other dimensions of intellectual life in the West at the moment, there is a chance to hear the repeat of the programme at 12:10 today.
