James Jolly

James Jolly presents musical portraits of the orient, by composers including Sullivan, Hosakawa, Messager, Mascagni and Britten. The week's young artist is Swiss tenor Mauro Peter.

With Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado as this week's Building a Library choice, James Jolly not only plays a substantial segment of the chosen recording, but explores other musical portraits of the orient from composers as varied as Hosakawa, Messager, Mascagni and Britten. The week's young artist is the Swiss tenor Mauro Peter, singing Schubert and Schumann, and the neglected classic is César Franck's string quartet.
