My ar­ti­cle, ‘Into the Lion’s Den: Hel­mut Lachen­mann at 75’, pub­lished in the July issue of Tempo, is now avail­able from Cam­bridge Jour­nals On­line. The piece takes a look at Lachen­mann’s re­cep­tion in the An­glo­phone music world as well as touch­ing on his mu­si­cal and aes­thetic de­vel­op­ment. It is un­for­tu­nately nec­es­sar­ily su­per­fi­cial in some re­spects, but hope­fully will offer a slightly more cur­rent per­spec­tive on the state of re­search into his music and writ­ings than was pre­vi­ously avail­able. Ac­cess to Cam­bridge Jour­nals On­line is re­stricted to those with sub­scrip­tions or in­sti­tu­tional mem­ber­ships, so if any­one is in­ter­ested and can’t ac­cess the ar­ti­cle this way, please get in touch.
