Five Painters
With Donald Macleod.
2: William Hogarth. Hogarth was a Londoner who kept a sardonic eye on the frolics and foibles of the scene around him. His gifts as a draughtsman and engraver sat alongside those of a painter and gave Hogarth a foot in several artistic camps - but they also made him a controversial figure. And the theatre proved much to his taste too. Music includes excerpts from: Gay The Beggar's Opera Broadside Band, conductor Jeremy Barlow
Telemann Suite in D (Gulliver)
Andrew Manze and Caroline Balding (violins)
Stravinsky The Rake's Progress Soloists,
Lyon Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Kent Nagano
JC Bach Sinfonia Concertante in C
Academy of Ancient Music, director Simon Standage
