Sunday Morning - David Owen Norris - The Art of the Arranger and Transcriber

David Owen Norris examines the art of the arranger and transcriber, and wonders whether hearing music dressed in alternative clothes yields unexpected dividends. Including music by Vivaldi/Bach, Chopin/Godowsky and Wagner/Stokowski. David's guest is violinist Wiebke Thormalen.
