Monday - Rob Cowan with Julian Glover
With Rob Cowan. Including Five Reasons to Love Vladimir Horowitz; Mozart: Symphony No 36; Artist of the Week: violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann in Szymanowski's Violin Concerto No 1.
9am
A selection of music including '5 Reasons to Love... Vladimir Horowitz'. Rob makes the case for the Russian-American pianist as one of the 20th century's great musical interpreters. Throughout the week he showcases Horowitz's ability to transform Scarlatti harpsichord sonatas into finely crafted piano miniatures, his individual approach to Chopin's mazurkas, his colourful interpretations of Czerny, the genius of his transcriptions and arrangements of Liszt and his understanding of Scriabin's mysterious muse.

Rob's guest this week is Julian Glover. Julian started out as a classically trained stage actor who performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He achieved Hollywood fame in the 1980s when he acted in the Star Wars franchise, was the Bond villain to Roger Moore's 007 in For Your Eyes Only and starred in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with Harrison Ford. His credits range from guest appearances in Doctor Who to providing the voice of the giant spider Aragog in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. More recently he has portrayed Grand Maester Pycelle in the hugely popular Game of Thrones. Julian will be sharing a selection of his favourite classical music, every day at 10am.
10.30am
Rob features the Building a Library recommendation from last Saturday's CD Review.
Mozart
Symphony No.36 in C major 'Linz'
11am
Rob's Artist of the Week is the master violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann. A thoroughly modern virtuoso - brilliant, intelligent and thoughtful in works such as Szymanowski's Violin Concerto No.1 and Britten's Concerto in D minor - Zimmermann is also responsive to the pathos of Mozart's Sonata in E minor, the autumnal strains of Brahms's Horn Trio and the Gallic elegance of Saint-Sa毛ns's Third Concerto.
Szymanowski
