Part Two
Thursday 26 May 2005 20:40-21:30 (Radio 3)
Christopher Cook presents the concluding part of a concert that depicts two journeys through life from birth to death, as described by two Russian composers.
Rachmaninov's The Bells, based on a poem by Edgar Allan Poe, depicts a journey marked by bells: from sleigh bells to wedding bells, and ultimately to the hollow tolling of the death-knell.
