The first of a series of programmes in which conductor, Leonard Slatkin explores ways of listening with fresh ears to the basic elements of music.
Leonard starts with rhythm; how do composers use it, and how do we hear it? He deconstructs rhythmic patterns from samba to Stravinsky and ends with Ravel's Bolero.
