A classical music programme broadcast on BR Klassik features Henry Purcell's Chaconne in Benjamin Britten's arrangement, Shostakovich's Second and Fifteenth String Quartets, performed by soloists of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks. Listeners highlighted the line-up, noting the unusual pairing of Purcell's Baroque dance form with Shostakovich's late, austere quartet writing.
Why now: Listeners are drawing attention to an unusually compelling combination of composers in a public radio broadcast.
