Wild Swans by Elena Kats-Chernin

Available for 29 days

Sara Mohr-Pietsch maps a musical path to the Wild Swans Suite by the Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin. Part of this was famously used in a TV advert for a bank, and we'll also hear the Flower Duet by Delibes, well-known from an airline ad, plus the smoky sounds of Bach's Air on the G String. There's more music inspired by swans, including Sibelius's Fifth Symphony, and some Argentinian tango, as well as other pieces based on fairy tales. To listen to this programme on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Map'.
