BBC Radio Ulster - Hannah Peel's Unfinished Symphony, Episode 8: An overture from Harry Nilsson

Hannah Peel selects contemporary music with beautiful orchestration.

This week there’s a visit to a remote island off the west coast of Ireland thanks to your auditory cortex and music from Duke Special, Four Tet and Glen Campbell.

Musician and composer Hannah Peel delves into her vast record collection to play music elevated by the use of an orchestral ensemble - big or small. This week, familiar acts such as Scott Walker, George Harrison and Father John Misty get an airing alongside local act Kitt Philippa, modernist composer Igor Stravinsky, producer Dangermouse and Melbourne mash up duo The Avalanches. A real mixed bag! But - as long as there's strings, brass, woodwind (or all of the above) - it belongs on this - the perfect Sunday afternoon playlist!
