I’m presenting the first of a new radio series, ‘The Magic of Music’ on Artsound FM on Saturday 24 September at 4pm.
Artsound’s music guru, Bert Whelan, has a formidable knowledge of music, ranging from the classics to light orchestral to the American Songbook and Broadway, as well as film music and popular 20th century songs. In this series, I’m playing a vast range of Bert’s personal favourites. Many you’ll know but I’m sure there’ll be new discoveries for you as well.
In the first program you’ll hear the jazz standard from 1917, ‘Darktown Strutters Ball’, David Raksin’s famous theme from the 1947 movie, ‘Laura’, 'Sing For Your Supper' from the 1938 Rodgers and Hart Broadway musical, 'The Boys From Syracuse', 'Vocalise’, a 1915 song by Sergei Rachmaninov, ‘Softly As In A Morning Sunrise’ from the 1928 operetta 'The New Moon', 'Concerto Incognito' from 1940 by British composer Sidney Torch and many others.
Join me, Len Power, Saturdays on Artsound FM at 4pm for ‘The Magic of Music’.
