WHERE ART AND MUSIC COLLIDE
The connections we are making this week are with works created by Paul Cézanne, Henri Fantin-Latour, John Collier and Gabriel von Max, inspired by the story of Tannhäuser and Wagner’s music.
WHERE ART AND MUSIC COLLIDE
In this episode we look at Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette - a masterpiece of French Impressionism and a celebration of happiness and prosperity - a fête galante set in a 'modern' Paris park. We’ll hear ‘dance music’ by Offenbach, Berlioz and Ravel to set the mood.

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.
