Monday - Rob Cowan with Clare Teal
With Rob Cowan. My Favourite Schubert Chamber Works; Music in Time: Mozart: Symphony No 1; Artist of the Week: Victoria de los Angeles, featured in Puccini: La boheme (excerpt).
9am
My favourite...Schubert chamber works. Throughout the week Rob focuses on Schubert's smaller-scale chamber works, from sonatinas for violin and piano that Schubert wrote when he was a teenager, to music from his final years. These shorter pieces are often remarkable essays, the Notturno for Piano Trio as sublime as the great slow movement of the String Quintet in C and his urgent Quartettsatz, a tantalising hint of a great string quartet that might have been, but never was.

Especially for the week of the London Jazz Festival, Rob's guest is the celebrated jazz singer and broadcaster Clare Teal. Three-times winner of British Jazz Singer of the Year, Clare performs regularly at the world-renowned Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, and has appeared at Glastonbury and the 91热爆 Proms. Her acclaimed albums include the chart-topping Don't Talk, And So It Goes and Hey Ho. Clare's most recent album Twelve O'Clock Tales, recorded with the Hall茅 orchestra, was released earlier this year. She is also a familiar voice on radio, as the host of Big Band Special and more recently with her own weekly show presenting the best in big band, swing and jazz. Clare will be talking about her singing career and sharing a selection of her favourite classical music with Rob every day at 10am.

Music in Time: Classical
Rob places Music in Time, with a Classical work by an eight-year-old Mozart, composed on a family trip to London in 1764. A plaque in Westminster marks the house where the Mozart family was staying, and where young Wolfgang wrote his Symphony No.1. This lively work gives a glimpse of his future potential, and introduces a musical motto that Mozart reused, among other places, in his final symphony, the Jupiter.
11am
Rob's artist of the week is the Spanish soprano Victoria de los Angeles. De los Angeles was one of the best-loved singers of the post-war period, eloquent in opera and song, and a charming stage presence, with a sweet, immediately distinctive voice. Rob selects his highlights from her wide recorded repertoire. There's music from her native Spain by Falla and Granados, a song-cycle by Berlioz, and arias from operas by Rossini and Massenet, as well as an acclaimed recording of Puccini's La Boh猫me with Jussi Bj枚rling, in which de los Angeles recreates the role of Mimi, the part in which she made her operatic debut at the age of 18.
