Dances around Europe
Rob Cowan presents dances from Brahms, Marchand, Parry, Praetorius, and Skalkottas. Plus exploring the introduction and allegro form, with works by Bliss, Chopin, Elgar, and Ravel.
Rob Cowan's Sunday morning selection of music takes in dances from many parts of Europe, with arrangements of traditional pieces and compositions by Brahms, Marchand, Parry, Praetorius and Skalkottas.
He also looks at a range of different treatments of the Introduction and Allegro form, including pieces by Bliss, Chopin, Elgar and Ravel. Rob rounds things off with Telemann's cantata in memory of a canary who loved the arts.
