The Sound and the Fury
BBC Four's The Sound and the Fury: A Century of Modern Music traces the turbulent history and ground-breaking music of the last century, uncovering how the last 100 years have changed music and the way we listen to sound forever. The series explores why individual composers felt compelled to create the challenging music they did and how they were influenced by the upheavals of their time.
The series features specially filmed performances from a number of ensembles including the London Sinfonietta, which can been seen in full on the Red Button after each programme. This week features music by Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern and Charles Ives.
