麻豆约拍

With Sarah Walker. In this week of the Royal Wedding, music with Pomp and Circumstance, recordings by Mitsuko Uchida, plus the Pathetique Sonata in our Beethoven Piano Sonata cycle.

New for Thursdays. Sarah Walker offers listeners the chance to exercise their powers of deduction with a light-hearted challenge to identify four seemingly unrelated pieces of music and the mystery theme that connects them, or to identify a well-known musician after hearing the same piece of music, played by three different musicians, one after another. Listeners will be invited to text or email in their replies.
