Story of the Three Brothers

17-04-20, 14:32

EMS Sunday 19th April Los Hermanos Pla

BBC Radio 3 - The Early Music Show, Los Hermanos Pla

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001ss4

Hannah French explores the lives and music of three 18th-century Catalonian brothers.

A fascinating exploration of three extraordinary Catalonian brothers: Joan, Manuel and Josep Pla, who performed and composed in Barcelona, Lisbon and Madrid during the mid-18th century, including at the Spanish and Portuguese Royal courts. Presented by Hannah French.

Fascinating and Extraordinary...but not much more info on the website. But I look forward to hearing about them. New to me.

Had to laugh. HF said that when as students they came across Pla, they coined "The ra in Spa sta ma on the pla". The same silliness went through my head when I flagged up the programme the other day. Great minds, etc. But Hannah had one up on me in that she'd heard of Pla several years ago........

Enjoyable programme with much bog-standard galante stuff beautifully played.

On the EM website this programme doesn't appear on either 'Available Now' or 'Upcoming'. Surely self-isolating interns could click a few buttons?
