Lest we forget

It must have taken Herculean reserves of self-belief for composers Richard Wolfson and Andy Saunders, aka Towering Inferno (left), to work for four years in London and Budapest on their debut CD, Kaddish, without even having a record deal. So whe n it was finally released in 1993 and started attracting world-wide praise - it's been championed particularly by Brian Eno, the patron saint of the avant-garde - they must have felt they were only getting their due. And they'd be quite justified. Kaddis h, named after the Jewish prayer for the dead, is an extraordinary 75-minute epic of the Holocaust and of European history. Musically it is amazingly diverse: the classical post-minimalism of Gorecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs rubs up against free jazz and the menacing distortion of Nine Inch Nails to produce what Eno has called "the most frightening record I've ever heard''. For its first London performance tomorrow, Kaddish will be staged amidst a huge array of Super-8 and 16mm projectors showing film shot by Towering Inferno especially for the piece. After London, they're performing in Berlin in May to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War: catch this unique part of the year's ceremonies while you can.
