There’s a Witches’ Dance from the gothic imaginings of pianist Michael Wollny; skeletons are brought to life by Meredith Monk; Blind Willie Johnson searches for the Soul of a Man and Egyptian-born Natasha Atlas casts an exotic Spell on You. Dangling across the mix – like cobwebs – a macabre ballad from June Tabor, two versions of a prelude from Chopin, fragile harp from Monteverdi and a string quartet from Klaus Egge.
Plenty of tricks and treats in store this Halloween night on the Magic Carpet. Frighteningly good music!
