Announcing Radio 3’s new commissions on Wednesday, Davey said he wanted the channel to be not only a radio station but also “an antidote to today’s frenzied world”. He added: “We are the natural home for slow radio because we are the place where things have always taken the time they take.”
Forthcoming programmes include a six-hour broadcast, from 1am to 7am, featuring the voices of people living with dementia interspersed with music.
The sound of boot trudges will be those of Horatio Clare, who will retrace the journey taken in 1705 by a 20-year-old Johann Sebastian Bach. The composer walked, in winter, from Arnstadt to Lübeck to hear the music of the organist Dietrich Buxtehude.
Clare will make the same journey, to be broadcast over five programmes, with listeners able to hear the sounds of the natural landscape as well as his boots, breathing, reflections and the music of Bach.
