Katie Derham presents music by Scarlatti, Bach, Holst, Vaughan Williams and Grieg. Plus Act 2 of Nebra's Viento es la dicha de amor.
Katie Derham concludes her week-long exploration of the Iberian Baroque with the second part of de Nebra's zarzuela, 'Wind is the Happiness of Love.' And Holst and Vaughan-Williams's London is the featured city on the Brink in today's look at music premiered on the eve of the First World War. The symphony is heard here in the original version which includes a haunting nocturne in the scherzo which the composer later deleted.
