Isle of the Dead

Liszt and Rachmaninov take inspiration from ancient plainsong and Stravinsky looks to the past for his commedia dell'arte infused ballet Pulcinella, plus Chopin from Perth.

Specially recorded concert performances including Liszt and Rachmaninov with music that takes its inspiration in ancient plainsong. Stravinsky too looks to the past for his commedia del arte-infused Pulcinella - we feature a performance of music from his ballet performed by the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra - and the Spanish pianist Javier Perianes performs works by Chopin alongside the music of Manuel de Falla at the Perth Concert Hall in Scotland. And Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the tenor Santiago Sanchez, gives us recent studio recordings of songs by Franckenstein. Presented by Elizabeth Alker.
