Mozart Dvorak and Piazzola accordion music from Riga

Ksenija Sidorova, 'the Accordion Princess,' is joined by the Spikeri Quartet in Mozart, Dvorak and Piazzolla at the Dzintari Hall Latvia.

Ksenija Sidorova, 'the Accordion Princess,' is joined by the Spikeri Quartet at the Dzintari Hall in a concert they gave as part of Latvia's Jurmala Festival.
Beginning with a fiery fantasy, the programme moves through the classical elegance of late Mozart to the Bohemian-inspired Bagatelles of Dvorak, one of the composer's favourite compositions. The concert ends with the rich palette of emotions from the king of Tango, a cycle which encompasses the roads of sleep, love, awakening, anxiety and fear. Part of Radio 3's celebration of 50 years of the European Broadcasting Corporation's music exchange programme.
Presented by Ian Skelly.
