Birds and Birdsong

Rob Cowan explores the way composers as varied as Rossini, Dvorak, Vivaldi and Liszt have interpreted birds and birdsong. He looks forward to Radio 3's celebration of Ravel later in the week with his own choice of the composer's works, and plays the week's Mozart symphony, No. 34 in C, K338.
