´óÏó´«Ã½

Sean Rafferty meets much-loved figures from the worlds of dance, drama and the media. This evening New Zealand comedian Rose Matafeo chooses music from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Experience Classical Archive, including pieces with the flavours of impressionism, which she loves, like Debussy La mer and Ravel Jeux d'eau, but also in Delius' tone poem 'On hearing the first cuckoo in spring'. Rose also loves Gershwin and jazz-infused pieces, so she's selected his 'An American in Paris'.
