Baroque Spring

For Radio 3's Baroque Spring season, Rob Cowan introduces Bach's secular cantata No 206, written for the birthday of Elector Friedrich August III, and Purcell's Fairy Queen.

Rob Cowan introduces Bach's major secular cantata no. 206, written for the birthday of Elector Friedrich August III. And the Baroque Spring on Radio 3 is also celebrated in music from Purcell's Fairy Queen.

By contrast, Rob focuses on Stravinsky for the hour from 10 o'clock, and after eleven, this week's double concerto is the Brahms A minor, played in a memorable recording by Wolfgang Schneiderhan, violin, and Janos Starker, cello.
