‘Spring Serenade’ is a delightful programme of music celebrating this special time of year. Laurence Perkins and John Flinders have recently been recording together for the world-famous Hyperion record label, and the music they will be playing includes the lyrical Concertino by Michael Haydn (a favourite on Classic FM), ‘Funeral March of a Marionette’ by Gounod (the Alfred Hitchcock television theme), musical journeys to French Catalonia, Spain and the Scottish Hebridean islands, two pieces inspired by Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ (featured on BBC Radio 3), and an encounter with a playful elephant!
