Composer of the Week: Dvorak

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Susan Sharpe continues her focus on the chamber music of Antonin Dvorak , which formed a constant thread through his working life. The composer wrote a song-cycle for the first time in 1865 as a response to an unrequited love. Over 20 years later, he arranged a dozen of these songs for string quartet.
