The Essential Turn
The life history of one of music's simplest ornaments traced from the Buxheimer Organ Book to the present-day activities of the Cambridge Buskers. Also taking turns we find Prokofiev in the Gavotte from his Classical Symphony, Mozart with the Rondo alia Turca and the A minor Rondo (K 511). A Mozart scandal is revealed, an Italian charlatan exonerated, and Wagner turns up with the Overture to Rienzi. Record requests turned in by the under-20s and overturned by Christopher Hogwood.

The Apple in the Eye by MARGARET HOLLINGSWORTH
' If I were to take a very sharp knife and gently, so very gently, cut through my mind, how would it be? Soft and spongy like sodium? If I were to put it in water would it ride over the surface? Race around and burn itself out? No. I wouldn't let that happen. Keep the mind dry. My mind would be like an apple ...'

JOHN SHIRLEY-QUIRK (baritone) with MARTIN ISEPP (piano)
In many Lieder recitals the words in some way dictate the choice of the music. In this one, the music completely dominates. It begins and ends in a very slow tempo, gradually quickening and slowing down again: as it does so, it makes apparent the differing creative characters of its two great composers - Schubert with his lyrical commitment to the mood of the moment, and Brahms, with whom a moment of illumination may come and go even within the confines of a single short song.
Schubert Meeresstille; Lied eines Schiffers an die Dioskuren; Gondelfahrer; Abendrothe; Der Schiffer (1m Winde, im Sturme); Der Strom; Auflosung
Brahms Wahrend des Regens; Sommerfaden; Mein Herz ist schwer; An ein Bild; Abendregen; Der Tod, das ist die kiihle Nacht
