with Andrew McGregor
0930 Building a Library
Rob Cowan compares available versions of Beethoven's 4th Symphony in Bb major and makes a personal recommendation. Written in 1806, this sunny and genial work is often overshadowed by the symphonies Beethoven wrote directly before and after it. But in fact Beethoven's 4th contains many forward-looking elements, especially the powerfully mysterious slow introduction which explodes with pent-up energy when it is unleashed into the impulsive, life-enhancing first movement.
1030
Andrew talks to Anna Picard about a clutch of fascinating new releases of Baroque choral and vocal music including discs of Handel (from his Italian years), Marcello (Psalms) and Albinoni (opera arias)
1145
Andrew chooses an outstanding recording for his Disc of the Week.
