Niall Carroll plays music from the heart of the classical repertoire. At midday each day Niall chooses his Five of a Kind. This week Niall chooses five movements from Mozart Concerti.
11.30 Through the Canvas
A new series commissioned for Niall Carroll’s Classical Daytime for Summer 2018. Art critic Cristín Leach and radio producer Diarmuid McIntyre walk in the worlds of twelve Irish paintings. Each week Cristín and Diarmuid take a different art work by an Irish artist and explore the context in which it was created as they walk through a landscape that inspired it. Whether it’s standing on the runway of Shannon Airport, or pausing on a shaded park bench in Dublin, the twelve locations reveal unique insights into how our environment and our experiences are distilled and transformed in art.
Episode 6 – ‘Waves Breaking on the Rocks, Kilkee’
Cristín Leach and Diarmuid McIntyre head out to the Pollock Holes on Clare’s Atlantic coast guided by a Nathaniel Hone the Younger sketch ‘Waves Breaking on the Rocks, Kilkee’ (c1890) National Gallery of Ireland Collection Watercolour with white highlight on paper.
