In this episode we revisit Gustav Klimt and look at two of his paintings. Music (1895) is a captivating representation of Klimt’s early explorations into the synergy of art and music. And, we look at Klimt's Schubert at the Piano (1899) - his portrayal of the musician. Delights by Beethoven and Schubert make the connection between the two art forms.

ROTHKO/ SCHOENBERG/ FELDMAN
This week’s programme focuses on the artist Mark Rothko and the music that a selection of his works has inspired. He was one of the pioneers of ‘colour field painting’, a style characterized by significant open space and an expressive use of color. We will hear Finding Rothko by Adam Schoenberg, a work praised for its colorful orchestration, rich textures and a sense of power and inevitability, similar to that which invested Rothko's work and, Morton Feldman’s 1971 ‘Rothko Chapel’, scored for singers, percussion, celesta, and viola soloists - the piece creates blocks of sound which are passed between the players, resulting in an aural shimmer like the vibrations between the colours in Rothko's paintings
