Sarah Walker with a 20th-century focus

A programme of music interspersed with intelligent comment. Sarah Walker with a 20th-century focus, including works by Luciano Berio and Steve Reich.

This week Sarah Walker presents music with a 20th century focus, in works by Morton Gould, Stevie Wishart, Luciano Berio and Steve Reich. Her Sunday Escape is from L'Arlesienne by Bizet, and there's also music from Richard Strauss and Stravinsky. But earlier periods are not forgotten, with J S Bach's Sonata in E for flute and continuo BWV 1035.
