Delius, Pleyel, Bartok
Episode b0b8gf24, broadcast at Tuesday 3rd July 2018, 7:00pm.
“Sprightly strings from Delius, virtuosic flute from Pleyel, spiky Strings, Percussion and Celesta from Bartok and a boisterous polka by Smetana - contrasted with the more serene: Amy Beach's evocation of the morning call of a songbird, Sibelius's hymn to his homeland and a viola sonata by Quantz full of loving affection. Producer: Ian Wallington.”
