The Best of 2021
This Boxing Day Jamie reflects on the past year in the Classics Unwrapped studio, including visits from The Edinburgh Quartet, musicians from the RSNO and the Resol Quartet.
Tonight, Jamie shares his 2021 highlights including studio sessions with the Edinburgh Quartet, RSNO musicians and the Resol Quartet. He revisits some special features with The Ayoub Sisters, singers Lorna Anderson and Andrea Baker plus composer Gareth Williams as they explore music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Errollyn Wallen. Alongside a few festive tracks for Boxing Day, Jamie’s Album of the Week features Brahms’ best-loved music; his clarinet sonata, Requiem, symphonies and songs.
