The Pied Piper

Available for 29 days

Hannah French is joined in the studio by Edward Blakeman who has just written a new biography of the extraordinary musician, early music specialist and broadcaster David Munrow, who died 50 years ago, aged just 34. During his relatively short life, Munrow made over 50 recordings, with his ensemble The Early Music Consort of London, with countertenor Alfred Deller, The King's Singers and with Michael Morrow's Musica Reservata. As a broadcaster, he presented 655 editions of The Pied Piper on Radio 3 - a multi-ethnic and centuries-spanning spread of music from Monteverdi to the Electric Light Orchestra rock group.
