Martin Iddon: The Musical Riddles of John Cage

In 2020, the composer and musicologist Martin Iddon and
the pianist Philip Thomas published a 400-page monograph
outlining, in extraordinary detail, the genesis and the substance
of one of John Cage’s most enigmatic compositions: the
Concert for Piano and Orchestra (1957-58). In this
episode, Martin Iddon reveals why this single work exerts such a
powerful draw, 60 years after its premiere.
