Il Violino Boemo
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, February 5, 2017 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Prague was a hotspot for violinist/composers in the 18th century. In 2013, Czech Republic label, Supraphon, released the album Il Violino Boemo – Music from 18th Century Prague to recognize and celebrate remarkable musicians like Franz Benda, Franz Jiranek and Josef Gurecky. This week we’ll sample some tracks that feature violinist Lenka Togersen. And Rachel talks with cellist Matt Haimovitz who has followed up his recording of the Bach Cello Suites with an album called Overtures to Bach which includes new commissions by contemporary composers such as Philip Glass. Each commission reflects on the cello suites.
