Verity Sharp presents a seasonal mix of music from across time and space, including evocative pieces for piano by Ryuichi Sakamoto, the crystal clear voice of Mary Hopkin with a traditional Welsh song associated with her birthplace in West Glamorgan and a Hungarian lullaby as interpreted by Marta Sebestyen on her latest album I Can See the Gates of Heaven. Plus seasonal music by both Chris Wood and Howard Skempton. Track List: 23:15 Trad arr.
