Music for concentration
Episode m0003rrk, broadcast at Tuesday 26th March 2019, 7:00pm.
“Find your flow with a contemplative evening raga, JS Bach's thoughtful Prelude and Fugue BWV. 846, and the ultimate in minimalist concentration, Steve Reich's Clapping Music. Then, Caterina Assandra's luminous Duo Seraphim and rippling oscillations from the film Mishima by Philip Glass are followed by a joyful movement from Haydn's Quartet Op 64'4. And to close, the gorgeous peace of Fragment II by Library Tapes.”
