Part of Radio 3's "Breaking Free - the minds that changed music", exploring the music of the Second Viennese School.

Also introducing a new feature for Breakfast on Sundays: Sounds of the Earth. Spurred by the success of our weekend Breakfast birdsong feature we will be broadening the avian sound-world to embrace the vast musicality of the whole natural world. From the hypnotic babbling of a stream to bees in a summer garden or the awe-inspiring echoes of a frozen glacier, weekend Breakfast will bring the Sounds of the Earth into listeners' homes.
