Percy Grainger
Sunday 19 February 2006 18:30-20:00 (Radio 3)
Stephen Layton joins Aled Jones to champion the music of Percy Grainger - a misunderstood composer, he says, who deserves special attention in the choral world.
Aled also features some of the latest choral CD releases and ends the programme with a complete performance of Grainger's most personal project, his Jungle Book Cycle, given by Stephen Layton and his choir, Polyphony.
Duration:
1 hour 30 minutes
