Music on 2: Counterpoint

on BBC Two England

The new series of Music Now edited and introduced by John Amis

Bream's Dorset Scene
Julian Bream runs a little local Festival where he and George Malcolm play a lute, a guitar and a harpsichord newly made in a workshop on his land by an American, a Spaniard and an Englishman.
Anton Smith, Jose Romanilles and Michael Johnson talk about their craft, and Julian Bream and George Malcolm play music by Boccherini, Vivaldi, Bach, Dowland and others. And Bream is seen in his Dorset setting chatting, practising, as well as playing cricket.

Divertissement No 3
'A lunch-bag opera' by Robert Moran
The work was designed to be performed in the financial centre of any large city. The composer chose London for this world premiere.
