Tuesday - Sarah Walker with David Gower
With Sarah Walker. My Favourite Character Dances; Music in Time: Alfonso el Sabio: Por nos de dulta tirar; Artist of the Week: Martin Frost, in Saint-Saens's Clarinet Sonata.
9am
My favourite... character dances. Integral to much of the classical ballet repertoire, character dances are the stylized representation of a traditional folk or national dance. Throughout the week Sarah chooses a handful of her favourites from evergreen ballets including Swan Lake, Don Quixote, and Coppelia.
9.30am

10am
Sarah's guest is the broadcaster and former England cricket captain, David Gower. Famed as one of England's greatest batsmen, David was one of the most capped and highest scoring players of his time and led England to victory during the 1985 Ashes. Since retiring from professional cricket he has forged an equally successful career in the commentary box. David will be reminiscing about his time as cricket's golden boy, talking about his commentating career and sharing a selection of his favourite classical music, including works by Byrd, Bach and Beethoven, every day at 10am.
10:30
Sarah places Music in Time as she travels back to the Medieval period to hear Alfonso El Sabio's Por nos de dulta tirar, one of the hundreds of songs that make up the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a large collection of monophonic vocal music from the Middle Ages.
11am
Sarah's artist of the week is the Swedish clarinettist Martin Fr枚st, one of the best wind instrumentalists of his generation. He has performed with some of the finest orchestras from around the world, as well as being a keen recitalist and chamber musician. Throughout the week Sarah shares Fr枚st's interpretations of classics of the clarinet repertoire including Crusell's Concerto No. 2 in F minor, 厂补颈苍迟-厂补毛苍蝉's Sonata in E flat major, Brahms's Quintet in B minor, Debussy's Premiere rapsodie and Mozart's Concerto.
