大象传媒

Presented by Louise Fryer.

Performances of British music from the 20th and 21st centuries, linked thematically with a Haydn String Quartet. Haydn's sombre meditation on Jesus' last words on the cross on Good Friday is followed by James MacMillan's Silence - his response to Jesus' anguished final question: 'Lord, why hast thou forsaken me?'
