Bella's Symphonic Poem Fate & the Ideal
« on: Saturday 03 October 2009, 23:12 »
BBC Radio 3 are broadcasting the symphonic poem Fate & the Ideal by the Czech  Jan Levoslav Bella (1843-1936) at 6:40 AM British time on Monday 5 October. It appears to be a substantial piece lasting around 18 minutes. Although I haven't yet heard any of his orchestral music, Bella's String Quintet, three Quartets and some piano music were available on Marco Polo and thoroughly enjoyable they are too.

The BBC also broadcast his Solemn Overture earlier this week and my apologies for forgetting to post about that.
