Art inspired by music. Music inspired by art.
We know that artists can take emotions and atmospheres evoked by sound and interpret them into something visual, as can composers recreate with sound, images from a canvas or other form of visual art. The possibilities are endless… The Culture Show continues to make connections between these two art forms.

In this episode, Job: A Masque for Dancing, a one-act ballet produced in 1931 based on the Book of Job and inspired by the extremely graphic images created by William Blake with music by Vaughan Williams. The horrors endured by Job are depicted in some of the composer's most driven dissonant music interspersed with ancient dances of a stately demeanour, creating music for a ‘masque’ lacking only the speech and song of its traditional form.
As we continue to explore symbiotic relationships between examples of visual art and classical music, in this episode, examples of how Liszt firmly believed that different forms of art can complement and strengthen one another. His 13 symphonic poems were inspired by the visual or literary arts. We explore Battle of the Huns inspired by a fresco of Wilhelm von Kaulbach, and From the Cradle to the Grave inspired by a drawing by Mihály Zichy.

The Culture Show - connecting music to visual arts, literature, film and theatre while discovering the delights of these arts in different parts of the world, all the while building cultural exchanges that will connect us and enrich our lives.
This month we present a 4-part series exploring a country that has one of the largest cultural heritages in the world - Spain. My studio guest is the Consul General of Spain in Hong Kong and Macau, Mr. Miguel Aguirre de Cárcer.
In this programme we begin by talking about one of Spain’s most well-known musical institutions, the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía and we will hear Liszt played by one of its noted alumni, Spanish pianist Juan Pérez Floristán. In 2015 he won the First and the Audience Prizes at the Paloma O'Shea Santander International Piano Competition. The recording comes from his Piano Laureate recital of 2016.
We also talk about one of Spain’s most prominent jazz festivals – Jazzaldia, and hear recordings of pianist Tete Montoliu. He worked with an array of leading jazzmen including Dexter Gordon, Archie Shepp, and Ben Webster. By the early 1960's, he was recognised as one of Europe's top jazz musicians. His playing is outstanding.
