This week’s show starts with something a bit loud – the Dies Irae from Verdi’s Requiem and then spends most of the rest of the hour calming and soothing us:

Niels Gade’s A summer’s Day in the Country, Jennifer HIgdon’s Scene’s from the Poet’s Dreams, Radu Lupu playing Brahms, Jascha Heifetz on his Strad, Allegri’s Miserere, and a Nielsen quartet.

And a bit of chat from me. You get the picture.

This week’s show starts with something familiar from Mozart – the first movement of his Symphony 41 – Jupiter. Then something a bit more unexpected – a contemporary composer Bryce Dessner with his piano concertos for two pianos. Next Alison Balsom with her trumpet treating us to a Concerto Grosso by Corelli. We will also have some Robert Carver – the Scottish equivalent of Byrd or Tallis, and a pieces by Elgar and Handel. I hope the overall effect is both provoking and soothing.

This week’s show starts with the Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet, then we have a saxophone concerto, a piece by Louiis Moreau Gottschalk, an intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, and an extraordinary example of 1930’s film score.There is also some Debussy and Gounod.

In a programme first – every piece played this week has been request by a listener.

There is another first too – I have added a short field recording. It was made on the banks of a burn (what streams are called in Scotland) high up in the hills a couple of weeks ago.

As usual – reception reports and requests for music to play in future programmes will be very welcome.
