St Valentine - Romantic classics
Heather Hadley, star of The Bodyguard, joins Ken Bruce for an evening of slushy classics from the pens of Rachmaninov, Rodgers and Parton.
Friday Night is Music Night.
Love is in the air on this week's Friday Night is Music Night as Ken Bruce puts a red rose between his teeth and presents a concert of great romantic classics.
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra is conducted by their principal conductor Keith Lockhart in works such as Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini; the waltz from The Slipper and the Rose by Angela Morley; Nino Rota's theme to Romeo and Juliet and Richard Addinsell's dramatic potboiler - The Warsaw Concerto.
The orchestra is joined by West End performers - Liz Robertson and Graham Bickley who sing a selection from The King and I (Rodgers and Hammerstein); A Connecticut Yankee (Rodgers and Hart); Dance a Little Closer(Lerner and Strouse) and Carmelina(Lerner and Lane).
Roderick Elms is the soloist in the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini(Rachmaninov) and The Warsaw Concerto(Addinsell).
Making her Friday Night debut is Grammy and Tony awarding winning Heather Headley. Heather is currently starring in London's West End in a stage musical version of the 1992 Whitney Houston film - The Bodyguard. What better for an evening of romance than the film's hit song - I Will Always Love You.
Programme recorded at the Mermaid Theatre, London and first broadcast in February this year.
