Tamsin Waley-Cohen, Huw Watkins, English Touring Opera, Dame Gillian Lynne

Presented by Sean Rafferty. With live music from English Touring Opera, violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen and Huw Watkins, plus Dame Gillian Lynne and composer Giles Easterbrook.

Sean Rafferty opens In Tune's doors to singers from English Touring Opera, who are on the road with Handel's Ottone. In Handel's time one aria in Ottone was scorned by the great Italian soprano Francesca Cuzzoni - and it is reported that the composer convinced her of its genius as he leaned her out of a high window!

British Violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen performs live with pianist and composer Huw Watkins some of the repertoire off their new CD 1917, all of which was written towards the end of WW1; and she brings news of her new recording of Vaughan Williams's Lark Ascending in its centenary year, as well as his unknown Violin Concerto. Plus, choreographer and dancer Dame Gillian Lynne along with composer Giles Easterbrook discuss their recreation of Robert Helpmann's ballet Miracle in the Gorbals - part of Birmingham Royal Ballet's triple bill 'Shadows of War' at Sadler's Wells.
