Connections Across Centuries

Relationships are how we understand the past and bring it into our future. In episode three, travel over one hundred and fifty years of musical relationships between composers. How have the greats, Mozart and Haydn, inspired the more modern composers Stravinsky and Prokofiev? The heart of the music is always in our relationships, and the artists who join this episode talk about the connections between composers and amongst themselves.
