“The mix starts in seventeenth-century Venice with the spectacular opening to Monteverdi's Vespers, followed by Michael Nyman's modern take on the Catalogue Aria from Mozart's Don Giovanni. Some real Mozart is next, then we hear Scottish composer's Erland Cooper evocation of the landscapes of Orkney. The mix ends with Jessye Norman's glorious performance of the last of Richard Strauss's Four Last Songs. Producer: Roger Short”
