Preludes and Fugues of Bach and Shostakovich
Saturday 6 November 2004 14:00-15:00 (Radio 3)
Stephen Johnson leads a workshop on the Preludes and Fugues of Bach and Shostakovich, recorded in Manchester earlier this year as part of the Royal Northern College of Music's mini-festival exploring Bach and counterpoint. Stephen is joined by Gary Cooper (harpsichord), who plays extracts from the second book of Bach's 48 Preludes and Fugues, and by pianist Alexander Melnikov, who performs four of the set of 24 Preludes and Fugues which Shostakovich composed in homage to Bach.
