Radio Riel

Today we fea­ture music with a sense of place.

Con­sist­ing large­ly of clas­si­cal and light clas­si­cal pieces, we vis­it loca­tions as diverse as Ilk­ley Moor, the Mau­soleum at Heli­car­nas­sus, and the Steppes of Cen­tral Asia — and a great many more besides.

Some­thing par­tic­u­lar­ly spe­cial to lis­ten out for today is Vir­ginia Ast­ley’s atmos­pher­ic 1983 album, From Gar­dens Where We Feel Secure, a musi­cal evo­ca­tion of a child­hood Spring day in Oxford­shire, Eng­land.

Today’s pro­gramme is pre­sent­ed by Elrik Mer­lin. You can lis­ten to the pro­gramme in-world now at http://main.radioriel.org, or sim­ply click here to start your play­er, if your brows­er is con­fig­ured to do so.
