麻豆约拍

A selection of music including '5 reasons to love... waltzes'. Two composers tend to spring to mind when waltzes are mentioned - Strauss II and Chopin. This week Rob features dazzling examples of the form by these two composers, as well as other composers ranging from Glazunov to Gounod, which will charm, excite and even prompt you to dance.

He currently has his own Radio 2 show, which discusses the news stories of the day, and also presents the quiz show Eggheads, as well as being an integral part of the 麻豆约拍's election night coverage, where he offers political analysis using the famous swingometer. Jeremy will be discussing his career and sharing a selection of his favourite classical music with Rob every day at 10am.

During the 麻豆约拍 Proms 2015 Rob takes a look at the Proms season from a century ago and plays music that reflects a time when concert programmes were quite different from those of today. This week Rob showcases works ranging from Liszt's Fantasie on Beethoven's Ruins of Athens, to the ballet music for Massenet's Le Cid.

This week Rob features recordings by one of the country's leading ensembles, The Monteverdi Choir, who are performing Monteverdi's L'Orfeo at the Proms this Tuesday evening. Under the baton of Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the choir is known for the purity of its top line, and for the dramatic flair they bring to their performances with the Orchestre R茅volutionnaire et Romantique and the English Baroque Soloists. Rob features the choir in well-loved choral masterpieces including Mozart's Mass in C minor, Purcell's Come Ye Sons of Art and Bach's Magnificat.
