The Elements - Air
from The Early Music Show Hosted by BBC Radio 3
Hannah French continues her series of programmes associated with the ancient Greek concept of the four elements - symbolic forces that inspired Renaissance and Baroque composers with the essences of creation out of chaos: earth, water, fire, and today air.
