“An eclectic mix featuring classical favourites, lesser-known gems and a few surprises. Tonight's musical journey begins and ends with birds, with contrasting settings of a Thomas Hardy poem from Britten and Finzi. There's a pair of magic flutes from Mozart and Hubert Laws, and the Danish String Quartet lark around with Haydn. Produced by David Fay.”
