Rob Cowan's selection of music celebrates dawn and also includes Malcolm Arnold's Double Violin Concerto and a cantata by Telemann from the series of recordings by Bergen Barokk.

Rob Cowan explores how composers from Delius to Richard Strauss and from Chabrier to Faur茅 have celebrated the coming of dawn.

He also plays Malcolm Arnold's concerto for two violins, opus 77. This week's cantata marks a return to Telemann's cycle Harmonischer Gottesdienst with Trifft menschlich und voll Fehler sein in another of the planned complete series of recordings by Bergen Barokk.
