Mr and Mrs Hasse

Sunday 29 April 2007 0:00-1:00 (Radio 3)

A profile of the German-born composer Hasse, who married the widely celebrated mezzo-soprano Faustina Bordoni. Hasse enjoyed great success both at home in Germany and in Italy, but this was short-lived. Lucie Skeaping plays chamber, vocal and orchestral music by Hasse, and recounts tales of his wife's behaviour in the opera house.

This is a repeat of the programme broadcast on Saturday 21st April 2007. View full details.
