Day of Dance
Episode m0024dyg, broadcast at Friday 8th November 2024, 7:00pm.
“"I could have danced all night" sings Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, and whirls you into half an hour of back to back classical music celebrating Radio 3's Day of Dance. Tap your feet to music by Madeleine Dring, J.S. Bach and Leonard Bernstein, stamp your feet to the Dufay Collective's Medieval English stomp, sway to the rhythms of Anthony Holborne and Johannes Brahms, and practise your rumba with the help of a seductive Milonga from Astor Piazzolla. Producer: Helen Garrison”
