Hannah French continues her series of programmes associated with the elements. Today's focus is fire - with music by Vivaldi, Rameau, Araujo, Corette, Rebel and JS Bach.
Hannah French continues her series of programmes associated with the ancient Greek concept of the four elements 鈥 symbolic forces that inspired Renaissance and Baroque composers with the essences of creation out of chaos: earth, air, water, and today, fire.
Today's programme focuses on all things fiery, with music by Vivaldi, Rameau, Araujo, Corette, Rebel and JS Bach.
