Dr. Laura Schumann
"On the page it looked like nothing, just a pulse, like a rusty squeezebox. Then suddenly high above it, an oboe, a single note hanging there unwaivering. Until, a clarinet took it over sweetened it into a phrase of such delight. This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God." There has perhaps never been such a beautifully written account of a piece of music as was written about Mozarts Serenade No. 10, which is featured on this program. Along with violin virtuoso Andrew Sords performing Vivaldi's Spring and Coplands "Appalacian Spring" you'll be leaving the theatre into a starry April evening with music in the air!
The beautiful description from the famous film begins at 2:49 on this video. Enjoy!
