Words and MusicFew artists evoke the British landscape so unforgettably as John Constable, with paintings like The Haywain, The Cornfield and A Country Lane bringing to mind the timeless cycle of the seasons. This edition celebrates English rural life in honour of the 250th anniversary of Constable's birth with actor and farmer Martin Clunes and The Archers star Louiza Patikas. Their readings connect listeners with rural bliss in John Clare's Farm Breakfast, the starker realities of life in the country in Stella Gibbons' Cold Comfort Farm and the unalloyed beauty of the land with John Keats, Gillian Clarke and Thomas Hardy. There is music tracking the seasons and celebrating sowing, growth and harvest, from Bach's Sheep May Safely Graze to Chaminade's Automne and Vaughan William's Pastoral Symphony.
