Lauma Skride, piano

Lauma and Baiba Skride's lunchtime programme includes a beguiling suite of pieces by their fellow Latvian, Peteris Vasks. The changing moods and sultry lyricism of his Little Summer Music serve as a broad bridge between the melodic charms of Sibelius's Op. 78 and the dark intensity of Nielsen's Violin Sonata No. 2 in G minor.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
