[191.1] THE ART OF THE MODERN

"I know that if I am true to the music in me, it must be a music of my agonies and your agonies as much as a music of, what shall I say, of heart-easing qualities. And yet I am quite certain in my heart of hearts that modern music and modern art is not a conspiracy, but is a form of truth and integrity for those who practise it honestly, decently and with all their being."

(Sir Michael Tippett)

Tippett forthcoming performances, via Schott.
