Pook, Haydn, Shostakovich
Episode m0000b47, broadcast at Monday 10th September 2018, 7:00pm.
“In Tune's specially curated playlist: an eclectic mix of music, tonight enjoying "sweet harmony" with an ode to moonlight by Jocelyn Pook, Haydn's sparkling Trumpet Concerto and a tender and passionate outpouring by Fanny Mendelssohn. There's also a disarming rendition of Ravel's nod to a Castilian Don Quixote, a playful ground by the Baroque violinist who was only 'the second to Corelli', and Shostakovich's sultry Foxtrot. To end, a radiant elision of harp and Senegalese kora, as Catrin Finch and Seckou Keita Listen To The Grass Grow.”
