Friday - Rob Cowan with Kate Adie
With Rob Cowan. Including My Favourite Sonatinas; Music in Time: Telemann's Overture Suite; Artist of the Week: conductor Sakari Oramo, featured in Grieg's Piano Concerto.
9am
My favourite...sonatinas. Throughout the week Rob showcases a range of 'small sonatas' by composers including CPE Bach, Busoni and Ravel. Sonatinas are usually lighter in feel and less demanding than a full sonata, but it's still possible to pack plenty into these smaller forms. Expect flair, technical wizardry, whimsy and more besides.
9.30am
Take part in today's music-related challenge: listen to the clues and identify the mystery place.
10am
Rob's guest is the veteran correspondent and author Kate Adie. Kate became a familiar face on our televisions as the 成人快手's chief news correspondent, reporting from war zones around the world and covering major events including the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Rwandan genocide and the Gulf War. She went on to write a number of books including Corsets to Camouflage: Women and War and her autobiography The Kindness of Strangers. She currently presents From Our Own Correspondent on 成人快手 Radio 4. Kate talks about her career and shares a selection of her favourite classical music, including works by Ethel Smyth and Carl Michael Bellman, and Smetana's Ma Vlast, which she heard whilst reporting on the 'Velvet Revolution' in Prague.
10.30am
Music in Time: Baroque
Rob places Music in Time with Telemann's Overture Suite in E major. The suite, an ordered set of instrumental pieces, was extremely popular in the Baroque period, and the later addition of an overture to make an "overture suite" became particularly fashionable in Germany, with Telemann having claimed to have written around two hundred examples of this form.
11am
To mark the start of the Proms tonight, Rob shares a recording by the conductor who will open proceedings, Sakari Oramo. Oramo teams up with his 'First Night' orchestra, the 成人快手 Symphony, in an acclaimed recording of Grieg's Piano Concerto.
