Why do so many great poets celebrate the ‘crack that lets the light get in’? In Liza Lim’s A Sutured World the cello pours out a vein of illumination that binds different orchestral worlds together.
Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony marked the composer’s triumphant climb out of a period of depression, while Ravel’s La Valse is a musical paradox, hitching a crumbling past to an oncoming sense of the modern.
