BBC Proms Chamber Music 2004

Concert 1

Another chance to hear the first concert in this season's lunchtime series.

Two composer anniversaries are celebrated with two chamber music masterpieces in the opening of this season's lunchtime series from the V&A, London.

The distinctive musical voice of Janacek is in powerful and mercurial mood for a quartet based on Tolstoy's tragic novella The Kreutzer Sonata, while the abundant lycricism of Dvorak's maturity shines through his glorious quintet which mines the rich vein of Czech folk music.

Presented by Stephanie Hughes.

Jana Lukasova (violin)
Radim Sedmidubsky (viola)
Peter Jarusek (cello)
Itamar Golan (piano)

Janacek: String Quartet No 1, 'The Kreutzer Sonata'

The Early Music Show

The Madrigal Comedy

At the end of the 16th century, the Madrigal Comedy became the most advanced form of musical theatre. These madrigals, like opera that was to follow, were available to those few rich or grand enough to afford this kind of entertainment. Lucie Skeaping presents a programme which explores the Madrigal Comedies written by composers such as Vecchi and Banchieri, performed by Ensemble Clement Janequin.

Greenwich Cabaret Convention

Ever eager for high jinks, Kit and the Widow throw off their studio shackles and head down river for this year's Greenwich Cabaret Convention.
