Da Vinci's viola organista
Episode m000944g, broadcast at Monday 30th May 2022, 7:00pm, and Tuesday 8th October 2019, 7:00pm.
“The 'silver lyre' invented by Leonardo da Vinci heaves in the emotionally frozen Black Lake by Bjork, after the cheek of Don Giovanni's Catalogue Aria and a swooning Interlude from Puccini's Manon Lescaut. There are also the sighs of Monteverdi's Nymph, Haydn's insistent presto from his piano sonata in B minor, and the pastoral twang of Artiatanat by Sidi Toure. And to close, the rumpeta rumpeta of the Sextet for 2 horns and string quartet by Beethoven.”
