Description:

Gary Goldschneider is a concert pianist and an astrologer and to him the stars and music are intrinsically connected. In this programme he discusses the music inspired by great romantic passion - pieces such as the theme for Romeo and Juliet, or Wagners Liebestod are perfect illustrations of Loves perfect partnership - not with marriage but with death or suffering. Most of the great composers suffered when it came to their love lives and this programme discusses whether great art can be created without that essential element of pain. This programme is a great St Valentine's Day special.


Part of the series "The Stars of Music" with Gary Goldschneider and Dheera Sujan.
