What was the (Palestinian?) Orchestra on Radio 4 at 0100 Sunday?
I was in the car and heard some lovely classical music on Radio 4 on Sunday morning just after the Shipping Forecast , it was about 0100hrs, I thought I could catch it on Listen Again but sods law that programme: 'Selection of BBC World Service Programmes' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00k7f4s) is one of the only ones which is not on Listen Again, mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Anyone know what Orchestra it was or where I can listen to that programme again? I was sure it began with 'C', and sounded foreign, I think they said it was Palestinian.
Thanks.

"David Harrington of the Kronos string quartet discusses their new album Floodplain, in which they perform compositions from an eclectic mix of musical cultures -- from Azerbaijan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Palestine, India and Iraq among others. Taking their inspiration from areas of the world subject to flooding and, in consequence, fertility, they play with the theme of re-birth with results that are at times beautiful, evocative and arresting".

I cannot thank you enough Chris, I can't beleive it was right on the BBC World Service Site, they certainly didn't link from the scedule becuase I checked the Radio 4 entries and the BBC World Service entries, regardless it was the Kronos Quartet I was looking for!!
Thank you so much I am really looking forward to that!
