Rob Cowan

Rob Cowan's selection includes musicians in unfamiliar roles, and a Bach cantata: Barmherziges Herze der ewigen Liebe, BWV185.

This week, Rob Cowan looks at musicians and composers who have turned their hand to new or different tasks, Schoenberg arranging popular songs, Placido Domingo taking up the conductor's baton and Rostropovich playing something other than the cello. There's Ravel's La Valse for two pianos, a Wagner overture, Haydn's Symphony no. 65 and vocal music by Tippett. Plus the Sunday morning season of Bach cantatas continues with Barmherziges Herze der ewigen Liebe, BWV 185.
