Radio 3 in Concert: Celebrity Choice: Rose Matafeo

Series 1, episode 0

Sean Rafferty meets much-loved figures from the worlds of dance, drama and the media. This evening New Zealand comedian Rose Matafeo chooses music from the BBC Experience Classical Archive, including pieces with the flavours of impressionism, which she loves, like Debussy's La mer and Ravel's Jeux d'eau, but also in Delius' tone poem On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring. Rose also loves Gershwin and jazz-infused pieces, so she's selected his An American in Paris. Elgar: Cockaigne (in London Town), Op 40 - BBC Philharmonic Andrew Davis (conductor). Ravel: Jeux d'eau - Zhang Zuo (piano). Debussy: La mer - BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Ilan Volkov (conductor).
