The Culture Show has been making direct connections between art inspired by music and music inspired by art. Now it’s time for more - unexpected connections...The Culture Show is continuing its look at how the visual arts and music are so connected - sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly. We have unearthed a wealth of examples, yet we have so much more to explore. I hope that for those of you who join me for the music – much of which has never been, or is very seldom played on Radio 4 – you will also develop my passion for art. Join me, Stacey Rodda, Sunday nights at 7 pm for The Culture Show.
One of the most famous examples of music created from art is Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. The death of a promising Russian artist prompted the composer to write what has become his best-loved work, and his music then inspired Kandinsky. This episode is titled 'Kandinsky’s Pictures'.
