Hannah French: The Rolling Year

E ating with the seasons is one thing, but have you ever tuned your ear to them? Dr Hannah French did while writing The Rolling Year: Listening to the Seasons with Vivaldi. Today the BBC Radio 3 presenter and musicologist shares her fresh perspective on one of the world’s most cherished musical scores, drawing from experts in science, health, food, and more. 300 years on, what can Vivaldi still teach us about the beauty and brutality of nature? Chaired by Kate Molleson.
