“A sequence of music chosen by the departing controller of Radio 3 and the Proms - Alan Davey. "Two dance tunes, a brief orchestral glimpse of the cosmos, emotional longing, a folk song in the mysterious Celtic guitar tuning of DADGAD at its emotional centre, ending on a song of hope. It reflects my interest in medieval, baroque, late classical music, romantic lieder, folk music and jazz, as well as the wider Scandinavian world and celebrates the wide range of music on Radio 3. Happy listening!"”
