“Bach’s been dragged through jazz and easy listening and every genre of music really, and the music has still survived" - Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead fame, told the Quietus about his new label Octatonic Records, dedicated to contemporary classical music. The other half of his favourite classical music world are composers from the last 100 years: French Oliver Messiaen - “one of the few composers when you can hear just a few chords in isolation and know it’s him”, Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, and Steve Reich.
