Jonathan
Harvey is known worldwide for his work in electro-acoustic music, in which field
he is considered one of the most skilled and imaginative composers of our era.
To celebrate the publication of the third of the Cahiers Series of the AUP
Center for Writers & Translators, on October 9, 2007, Jonathan Harvey
talked at AUP about his new opera
Wagner Dream, which premiered this year and was performed in several
European countries. He presented his vision of contemporary music and how it
relates to Buddhism, to Wagner, and to 'undecideability'. He also played
examples from his compositions and presented the work of the IRCAM (which is
perhaps the most sophisticated institute for electronic music in the world
today).
