Joseph Horovitz and Gordon Jacob share “Composer of the Week”

Joseph Horovitz shares BBC Radio 3’s “Composer of the Week” with Gordon Jacob (1895-1984) from 15 to 19 April. Both composers have strong links to the Royal College of Music, where Joseph Horovitz was taught by Gordon Jacob and where he in turn has taught composition since 1961.

Novello works by Joseph Horovitz which are featured in the five programmes include his “autobiographical” Quartet No. 5, Lady Macbeth, the Jazz Piano Concerto, Variations on a Theme of Paganini, Fantasia on a Theme of Couperin, Ballet for Band, Sinfonietta, the ever-popular Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo, and the much performed and recorded Clarinet Sonatina.
