Beautiful cosmos
Episode m0002gxq, broadcast at Tuesday 12th February 2019, 7:00pm.
“Ivor Cutler's small paean to tea and silence, and the dancing of Strike the viol, touch the lute by Henry Purcell - part of a birthday gift for Queen Mary - open tonight's Mixtape. Then, a prepared piano appreciation of the little things with Hauschka, the easy-going swing of Prokofiev's Pushkin Waltz and a zestful Allegro from Beethoven's Quartet in B flat. And a consoling reflection upon dewdrops by Eriks Esenvalds, before Sun Ra's cosmic journey to find Love in Outer Space.”
