Granada Millennium

BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Granada Millennium, Episode 2

Katie Derham presents music by Bach, Scheibe and Brahms.

Katie Derham presents Baroque and pre-Baroque music. With Bach and Scheibe, plus Brahms's Symphony No 2 and Part 2 of Granada Eterna (1013-1526), featuring Hesperion XX.

Katie Derham introduces a magical celebration of the foundation of the Kingdom of Granada in 1013. Jordi Savall and some leading musicians from the Arab world bring back to life the sounds of the Kingdom of Granada and Andalucia from its foundation a millennium ago to its incorporation into the Kingdom of Castilla nearly five centuries later. Today there's a chance to hear the venerable middle-European tones of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra in a recent performance of Brahms's lyrical Second Symphony.
