Half an hour of the finest classical music
Episode m0015cxn, broadcast at Monday 21st March 2022, 7:00pm.
“Tonight, we begin with the weeping Lacrimosa of Mozart’s Requiem Mass. We journey across Hungary with Geza Allaga’s Study for Cimbalom, and Liszt’s effervescent Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 in Leopold Stokowski's tour-de-force orchestration. A prelude from Bach’s 48 provides comfort and solace and leads to music by Joseph Haydn, who bids us farewell as we set off on a vintage car rally with the Genevieve waltz.”
