Scherzo

Rob Cowan explores the scherzo in works by Brahms, Franck, Copland and Stravinsky. Plus Mozart's Concertone in C for two violins, K190, and a Telemann cantata: No 48.

Rob Cowan explores the scherzo in works by composers as wide-ranging as Brahms, Franck, Copland and Stravinsky.

He presents the celebrated recording of Mozart's Concertone in C Major for Two Violins (K 190) played by Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman, and also introduces the week's Telemann cantata, No. 48 of the Harmonischer Gottesdienst cycle: "Schau nach Sodom nicht zurucke".
