Presented by Sean Rafferty. Sean talks Murray Perahia, one of the great pianists of the 20th century, who is still winning awards and rave reviews for his work today. They discuss Perahia's remarkable career, his passion for Bach and the inspiration of musical legends Pablo Casals and Vladimir Horowitz. Outstanding soprano Amanda Roocroft and conductor Eivind Gullberg Jensen talk about English National Opera's revival of Janacek's tragic opera Jenufa, in which Roocroft revisits the lead role for which she received critical acclaim in 2006. 17:05 SCARLATTI Sonata in A Major, K.212 Murray Perahia (piano) SONY CLASSICAL SX4K63380 CD1/T.2 3’02 17:08 JANACEK Jenufa (Overture:‘Jealousy’) Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Sir Charles Mackerras (conductor) DECCA 4144832 CD2/T.15 5’35 17:15 BACH Partita No.4 in D major, BWV 828 (Ouverture) Murray Perahia (piano) SONY CLASSICAL 88697226952 T.14 6’15 17:28 SCHUMANN Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, op.16 in A minor (2nd movement) Murray Perahia (piano) Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Sir Colin Davis (conductor) CBS CD44899 T.2 4’53 17:39 BEETHOVEN Piano Sonata No.9 in E major, Op.14, No.1 Murray Perahia (piano) SONY CLASSICAL 88697326462 T.5-7 12’59 17:56 MARSALIS Root Groove Wynton Marsalis (trumpet) Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra Wynton Marsalis (conductor) SONY CLASSICAL 88697095792 CD2/T.14 3’46 18:03 MOZART Rondo, K.371 Barry Tuckwell (horn) Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields NevilleMarriner (conductor) EMI CDM7695692 T.13 4’32 18:09 BELLINATI A Furiosa Aquarelle Guitar Quartet CHANDOS CHAN 10512 T.15 3’30 18:13 E.J.
