30 minutes of classical inspiration
Episode m001w8jh, broadcast at Friday 23rd February 2024, 7:00pm.
“This 30-minute soundscape of classical music starts with Catrin Finch's lilting harp in a Rondeau by John Rutter, with echoes of Ravel's String Quartet. Arvo Pärt sets the final line of the earliest Marian hymn, and Bernard Herrmann evokes the blustery moors in his Wuthering Heights Suite. Plus, a classic recording of Alfred Brendel playing Schubert. Producer: Rachel Gill”
