The Sea
Rob Cowan explores music linked with the sea, by Richard Rodgers, Liszt, Rachmaninov and Wagner. Plus the latest in a series of Telemann cantatas: Hirt und Bischof unsrer Seelen.
The sea and ships have long fascinated composers and this morning Rob Cowan delves into works by Richard Rodgers, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Wagner for different takes on maritime music. He also presents this week's Telemann cantata, Hirt und Bischof unsrer Seelen, and Bartok's Divertimento, as part of a short season of similar works.
