Private Passions is a radio show where guests from all walks of life discuss their musical loves and hates, and talk about the influence music has had on their lives. Roger Allam was a guest in 2016.
Below the video I have uploaded the musical pieces Roger Allam speaks of where possible.
(Les Miserables) Singer: Roger Allam.
Maurice Ravel Asie (Sheherazade)
Singer: Margaret Price
Benjamin Britten
Nocturne (Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings)
Performer: Dennis Brain. Singer: Peter Pears.
Anonymous
Estampie Royal no.6
Johann Sebastian Bach
Goldberg Variations: Variation no.14
Performer: Angela Hewitt.
I couldn’t find Angela Hewitt performing Variation no. 14 but here she is performing what I believe is sections of The Goldberg Variations 1 – 5.
Gustav Mahler
Symphony No.4 (4th mvt)
I couldn’t find a video with the singer Juliane Banse. However, here is the same piece but sung by Edith Mathis.
Franz Schubert
Das Wirthaus (Winterreise)
Singer: Dietrich Fischer‐Dieskau.
I couldn’t find the exact piece that was played on the show but this is a section of the same classical piece with the singer Dietrich Fischer‐Dieskau.
Olivier Messiaen
La Vierge et ‘Enfant (La Nativite du Seigneur)
Performer Jennifer Bate.
I hope you all enjoyed this post. Take care everyone.
I really enjoy the radio programs. Thank you loading them along with the full songs. Have you heard if Shaun Evans will be doing an episode? Great post!
No mention of Shaun appearing on this particular show but let’s hope it happens soon.
