Classical music to inspire you
Episode m000fphy, broadcast at Tuesday 25th February 2020, 7:00pm.
“We begin with orchestral music by Brahms and Eric Coates. There are two lively fire-themed pieces by Debussy and Stravinsky, separated by the tranquility of Arvo Pärt, and we end with the driving rhythms of music by 13th-century monarch and composer Alfonso X and the contemporary American composer John Adams. Producer Nick Holmes”
