BBC Four - BBC Four Sessions, Randy Newman

Singer-songwriter Randy Newman performs songs old and new at LSO St Luke's in London.

Acerbic singer-songwriter Randy Newman graces the stage at LSO St Luke's in London, joined by the strings of the BBC Concert Orchestra under conductor Robert Ziegler.

The great American master of irony, singer-songwriter Randy Newman graces the stage at LSO St Luke's in London for an intimate concert. Balancing songs of scathing wit with affecting romantic ballads, he is joined by the strings of the BBC Concert Orchestra under the baton of Robert Ziegler. 

There is a selection from his critically-acclaimed album Harps and Angels, including the critique of the Bush administration A Few Words in Defence of Our Country, and Newman also cherrypicks songs such as Short People, I Think It's Going to Rain Today, Political Science and Marie from his impressive back catalogue.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
