Sara Mohr-Pietsch with a sonic journey from winter chill to the arrival of spring.

As part of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 3's Countdown to Spring, Sara Mohr-Pietsch takes us on a sonic journey from winter chill through to the arrival of spring. We begin with the awakening of the spirit of winter in Purcell’s Cold Song, then as the icemusic of Norwegian composer Terje Isungset melts away, Schubert captures the hope of spring before the clouds gather and the showers begins. Spring finally emerges with Jon Hassell’s 1970s dreamlike ambient jazz masterpiece ‘Vernal Equinox’.
