The eclectic classical mix
Episode m001v4qc, broadcast at Tuesday 16th January 2024, 7:00pm.
“Much needed sun and warmth radiate in the Aragonaise from Bizet's Carmen, Sally Beamish's syncopated setting of "In heaven rejoice the souls" delights, .James Galway serenades us in music by Bach and Poulenc takes us to revelers dancing away at a house party on a summer's afternoon. Also in the mix is Tchaikovsky evoking a January night by the fireside, elegant wind music from Anton Reicha, a nocturne for harp by John Field and a South American Getaway with the 12 Cellos of the Berlin Philharmonic. Producer: Ian Wallington”
