Consert 8

From Cadogan Hall, London.

A homage to Bartók on the 60th anniversary of his death, with a vigorous and hauntingly beautiful work, played by a superb young quartet from BBC Radio 3's New Generation artists. It is matched with one of Haydn's so-called Sun Quartets - a product indeed of the high summer of his career, full of emotional intensity and ultimate high spirits. "The end - praise be to God!", he wrote on the final page.

Presented by Stephanie Hughes.

Arrangers Anonymous

Part 1

For decades now, arrangers in music have traditionally been undervalued, in many cases underpaid or not even identified, and certainly under appreciated in terms of an understanding of the complexity of what they do. They are the unsung heroes of the music world, all members of Arrangers Anonymous.

In this new series, Russell Davies is joined by arranger/composer/conductors Barry Forgie and Steve Gray, to analyse and deconstruct a collection of outstanding jazz scores, discovering how each arrangement actually works and what was in the mind of the arranger when the piece was conceived. Features Billy May's 1956 arrangement of Say It Isn't So.
