Five Painters
With Donald Macleod.
3: Turner. Joseph William Mallord
Turner was born in London in 1775 and became the most revolutionary of all British painters. Works such as The Fighting Temeraire and Rain Steam Speed introduced a dynamism and energy and even an element of abstraction that were the fruit of a restless spirit and an endlessly enquiring mind. Turner travelled widely and enjoyed powerful patronage even while jealously guarding his privacy. Including: Berlioz Royal Hunt; Storm (Les Troyens)
Montreal Symphony Orchestra, conductor Charles Dutoit
Mayr Medea in Corinto Jane Eaglen (soprano),
Philharmonia, conductor David Parry Mendelssohn Overture: The Hebrides
(Fmgal's Cave) Vienna Philharmonic, conductor Christoph von Dohnanyi
