The Afternoon on Three

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Sandy Burnett.
1.00 Proms Chamber Music 1996
Philip Mead plays a panorama of 20th-century American piano music in this concert, which looks forward to a day of American music at the Proms next Sunday. Ives looks back to Bach and points the way forward in his sonata "made mostly as a joke to knock the molly coddles out of their heads". Then Copland picks up on all things new in his rugged and lean-textured variations, while for
Barber, lyricism is still a potent force in his romantic yet undeniably modern sonata. And Stephen Montague provides a thrilling finale of shimmering romantic textures and clusters of sound. Introduced by Susan Sharpe. Ives Three-Page Sonata Copland Variations
Barber Sonata. Op 26 Montague Paramell 5a
