BBC Radio 3 - Choir and Organ, Freedom

Aled Jones and choral director Ken Burton explore the theme of freedom.

Aled Jones and choral director Ken Burton explore the wide range of choral music inspired by the theme of freedom, including Poulenc's epic hymn to liberty, Figure humaine.

Aled Jones is joined by choral director Ken Burton. Together they explore the different ways in which composers have responded to the theme of "freedom", including Francis Poulenc, whose horror at the occupation of Paris inspired him to create "Figure humaine", a heartfelt hymn to liberty, Beethoven, Vaughan Williams, plus some of Ken's personal favourites too.
