Rob's Gold Standard

Rob Cowan presents archive music, including Barber's Summer Music, violinist Barnabas Kelemen playing a Bartok rhapsody and Jacqueline du Pre in Saint-Saens's Cello Concerto No 1.

Rob Cowan mines the archive for great recordings, forgotten musical heroes and repertory adventures

Rob's selection this week includes Barber's delightful wind quintet 'Summer Music', a rhapsody by Bartok played by the young Hungarian virtuoso Barnabas Kelemen and cellist Jacqueline du Pré in a live recording of Saint-Saëns's first concerto accompanied by her husband, conductor Daniel Barenboim.
