MAGRITTE AND THE TUBA
Clouds, pipes, bowler hats, green apples and tubas: these remain some of the most immediately recognisable icons of René Magritte, the Belgian painter and well-known Surrealist. This week we focus on the tuba in Magritte’s work – in particular, The Central Story (1927), Threatening Weather (1928) and The Discovery of Fire (1935). We’ll hear music written for the instrument by Sophia Gubaidulina, her ‘Lamento’, Widening Circles by Joshua William Mills and Asha Srinivasan’s Dyadic Affinities.

Music inspired by art and art inspired by music. In this episode we look at Chagall and the cello. The vital relationship that Marc Chagall cultivated with music was rooted in the Hasidic culture of his childhood, in religious singing and Russian popular music. Music became a constant source of inspiration to Chagall, from traditional folk songs to the music of Bach. His paintings are full of musicians: violinists, cellists and flautists. We take a look at his Le violoncelliste of 1939 and 1964, and will hear two of Bach’s Cello Suites played by Chagall’s good friend - Mstislav Rostropovich.
