Author Alex Ross (The Rest Is Noise) dispels the elitist myths surrounding modernist and post-modernist masterpieces.

In partnership with mezzo-soprano Bianca Andrew and Aotearoa’s pre-eminent modern music ensemble Stroma, they present a musical tasting session that winds through the ages featuring work by Ravel, Bartók, Stravinsky and of course, the modernist master himself, Schoenberg. 

Alex Ross (speaker), Bianca Andrew (mezzo) & Stroma, directed by Hamish McKeich 

Recorded in Auckland Town Hall, Auckland by RNZ
