Classical music to fill half an hour

Gather round the hearth for Bella Hardy's fireside tale from the Peak District and the perennial mystery of Couperin's barricades.

Gather round the hearth for Bella Hardy's fireside tale from the Peak District and the perennial mystery of what exactly were Couperin's barricades. There's also an extract from a New York street scene by Glen Branca student and Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore, two of Berio's folky songs, and a punchy African Dance by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Then a glowing work by Renaissance Augustinian nun Sulpitia Cesis, and to open, Chopin's elusive Mazurka in B flat minor.
