“Nothing can match music in its power to convey and inspire moods from joy to sadness, reflective to buoyant, and tonight's sequence embraces a gentle Serenade from Joseph Suk, a version of a Bach prelude given the title 'and at the hour of death', plus the sheer exuberance of The Gipsy Kings in their own take on Sinatra's My Way. Producer: Roger Short”
