Classical accordion in Scotland on BBC

[saundersbp]

This is a very recent programme - interviews and music - about the classical accordion in Scotland with young players from the Glasgow Conservatoire.

I thought it was terrific. The accordion bit is the first section of the programme.

Front Row - The Burrell Collection, Accordion Quartet, Women's Prize Winner Barbara Kingsolver, Folk Film Gathering - BBC Sounds

The Burrell Collection, shortlisted for Museum of the Year, and the Women's Prize winner.

…and the Puccini at the end is magnificent, too.

Thanks for posting that.

@saundersbp Thanks for the introduction to that source. Enjoyed it tremendously.

By the way, I followed the links to BBC 3 and the Kate Molleson 'Breakfast" show....2 hrs of classical and other music....very nice piece this morning with the accordion and orchestra playing Carmen (Seguidillas) by Geo Bizet. This was No. 11 on today's episode.
