Rachmaninov, Part, Mozart
Fiona Talkington presents listeners' requests, including Rachmaninov's Cello Sonata, Part's De Profundis, Mozart's Double Piano Concerto in E flat. Plus a request from Pat Metheny.
Fiona Talkington introduces more listeners' favourites including Rachmaninoff's melodious Cello Sonata in a wistful performance by Norwegian cellist Truls Mørk. Plus Arvo Part's intense De Profundis for male voice choir, organ, tam-tam and tubular bell in a titanic sing by Polyphony. Also requested are a Concerto for Jew's Harp and Mandora by Beethoven's teacher Albrechtsberger, and a playful account of Mozart's E Flat Double Piano Concerto K365 performed by Murray Perahia and Radu Lupu. Today's guest requester is jazz guitarist Pat Metheny who weighs up the joys of fatherhood and life as a touring musician.
