The Adopted Blues

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Following the birth of the blues in 19th-century America, many
"classical" composers, including Barber, Nancarrow, Copland and Bolcom, were inspired to write blues-influenced works. Pianist Joanna
MacGregor is among the featured artists who perform a selection of these blues-inspired pieces.
