Our Classical Century: 1980s to the present

Содржина

Music broadcaster Suzy Klein and West-End star Alexandra Burke chart how, in the 80s and 90s, a new generation of young musicians from Simon Rattle and Nigel Kennedy to Vanessa-Mae, defied tradition and burst out of the accepted confines of the classical genre. We look at Torvill and Dean's triumph at the Winter Olympics, the Three Tenors at Italia 90, Tavener's haunting anthem accompanying the funeral of Princess Diana and the successful launch of Classic FM.
