Your daily classical soundtrack
Episode m001ghhq, broadcast at Thursday 5th January 2023, 7:00pm.
“We start with Nigerian composer Fela Sowande's most famous piece, the 'African Suite', before two pieces that put wind instruments in the spotlight: the bassoon for Camille Saint-Saëns and the flute for J. S. Bach. It takes Mozart to add a bit of magic to it with an aria from 'Die Zauberflöte', before the piano of Paul Simon rearranged by Philip Glass finds how silence sounds. George Gershwin is next with 'Somebody loves me', from 'Lady be good', and indeed two genius ladies to conclude this mixtape, with Hélène de Montgeroult, followed by Emilie Mayer in her triumphant military symphony. Producer: Julien Rosa”
