Soaring classical music for Valentine’s Day romance
Episode m000f7pb, broadcast at Friday 14th February 2020, 7:00pm.
“Mahler's musical SWALK to his beloved Alma wraps up Mozart's tender trio Soave sia il vento and Bollywood's most cherished love song. There's a swooning Amor dicea by Monteverdi too, and Rachmaninov's Lilacs, written at the same as his April wedding. Then a chanson rendition of Satie's Je te veux and a melting Stranger in Paradise - and how could any Valentine's Day be complete without a bit of Romeo and Juliet?”
