During the week of March 11th to 17th, the Morning Edition programme is entirely dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Concertzender. In each episode we will only be playing Opus 40 by different composers .
This includes well-known pieces, such as the First Violin Romance by Ludwig van Beethoven, the Horn Trio by Johannes Brahms and the Holberg Suite by Edvard Grieg. But also obscure compositions, such as the Bolero for basset horn and piano by Charles Koch, and the Fantasie for piano no. 1 by Jan van Boom.
Some composers’ works don’t have an opus number, but a letter combination, such as BWV (Bach), KV (Mozart) or RV (Vivaldi). These compositions are also covered in the episodes.
Listen to the Morning Edition from March 11th to 17th in the morning from 7 to 10 am and be surprised by the diverse compositions with opus number 40!
An overview of all programmes in the context of our 40th anniversary can be found here.
Listen: the first ‘Opus 40’ episode of Morning Edition, Monday, March 11th, 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM.
