5: The Restoration
ANTHONY LEWIS comments on the vigorous and colourful life of this period and shows that musically as well as politically, this was indeed an era of Restoration.' In discussing one of England's finest composers, he demonstrates how Henry Purcell concentrates into a few dozen bars an expressiveness for which another composer might need a hundred - and still not attain.' Produced by DAVID EPPS
(A supplementary programme of longer musical examples can be heard on Radio 3 tomorrow at 5.5 pm)
