Episode m0004s7h, broadcast at Wednesday 2nd March 2022, 7:00pm, and Monday 6th May 2019, 7:00pm.
“An unpresented sequence of music that shimmers, gleams and glints. With watery music from Ravel and Saint-Saens, sunlight and starlight from Thomas Ades, Erik Esenvalds and Lubomyr Melnyk, and Respighi's glittering evocation of spring.”
