Architects
With Peggy Reynolds.
Palladio began as a stonemason called Andrea della Gondola, but, as Palladio, he became the most imitated architect in history. Palladio got his new name and career when he was taken up by an intellectual prince who moved in an elite society dedicated to an ideal of civilised life that was both natural and cultured.
So when Palladio came to design his many famous villas in the countryside of the Veneto, he always included a grand room for entertaining and a shed for storing the farm machinery. Including excerpts from:
Willaert A la Fontaine du Pres Margot Romanesque
Verdi Aida (March from Act 2) Chorus and Orchestra of Rome
Opera, conductor Georg Soiti
Cipriano de Rore to Canterei d'Amor Labyrinto, director Paolo Pandolfo Bach Goldberg Variations Andras Schiff (piano)
Simon Heighes presents another selection of music by J.C. Bach, the youngest of Johann Sebastian Bach's four musical sons and one of the most versatile composers of the mid-18th century. A champion of the new clarinet and early piano, and equally successful as a composer of operas and symphonies, he spent most of his working life in England. The popularity of his music today is based on its approachable Mozartian style - though it was actually Bach who helped mould Mozart's style.
J.C. Bach played an important part in establishing regular concerts in London. From 1765, his concert series with C.F. Abel entertained the public every Wednesday from January to May. This programme recreates a typical Wednesday concert from the 1770s and includes an aria for the famous castrato Tenducci, two popular symphonies and a rather genteel piano concerto.
