Sweeping Romanticism. Polish folk spirit. Orchestral music by Zygmunt Noskowski. 20:07

for 7 weeks siden20:07

20:07

Although the music of Polish composer Zygmunt Noskowski (1846–1909) is less well known than that of his teacher (Stanisław Moniuszko) and his students (Karol Szymanowski and Mieczysław Karłowicz), Noskowski was nonetheless the primary exponent of modern symphonic music in Poland for most of the 19th century; he also introduced the idea of the symphonic poem to colleagues who would follow in his footsteps. Raymond Bisha introduces a programme of his Third Symphony and the symphonic poem The Steppe, Op. 66, which blends sweeping Romanticism with Polish folk spirit. The symphony is a journey through the seasons, while The Steppe evokes Poland’s vast landscapes with colourful hints of Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia.…

"Just Biber". A new album with Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque 26:03

for 12 weeks siden26:03

26:03

In Biber’s time, harmony was something cosmic, vibrating in a God-given resonance between human, instrumental, and celestial bodies. After all, the string instrument in early modern Europe was configured as a human body – with a neck, belly, and ribs to match. The Sonatas were therefore not only designed to delight, but also potentially to balm and heal; Biber described the sonatas as a kind of prayer for his patron's longevity and good health.…
