Five Painters
With Donald Macleod.
2: William Hogarth. Hogarth was a Londoner who kept a sardonic eye on the frolics and foibles of the scene around him. His gifts as a draughtsman and engraver sat alongside those of a painter and gave Hogarth a foot in several artistic camps - but they also made him a controversial figure. And the theatre proved much to his taste too. Music includes excerpts from: Gay The Beggar's Opera Broadside Band, conductor Jeremy Barlow
Telemann Suite in D (Gulliver)
Andrew Manze and Caroline Balding (violins)
Stravinsky The Rake's Progress Soloists,
Lyon Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Kent Nagano
JC Bach Sinfonia Concertante in C
Academy of Ancient Music, director Simon Standage

Susanna
Handel's oratorio based on the story of Susanna and the Elders in the Apocrypha, given in concert during last year's London Handel Festival at St George's, Hanover Square.
Handel lived just round the corner in Brook Street and he was a regular visitor to the church. The scene for the oratorio is set in Babylon during the Jewish exile. Susanna is falsely accused of being unfaithful to her husband by two Elders who try to seduce her, and she is condemned to death. The story inspired Handel to write one of his most intimate and sensitive works - more like a chamber opera than grand oratorio.
