Saturday
Lucie Skeaping presents the first of two programmes this weekend, looking at the "Golden Age" of Polish music. The programme includes sacred works and lute miniatures by composers including Bartłomej Pękiel, Franciszek Lilius, Mikołaj Zieleński & Wojciech Długoraj as well as music by some of the Italian masters brought to Poland in the 17th Century by King Sigismund Augustus II.http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01c6qbj

Sunday
The "Polish Baroque" - Lucie Skeaping, aided by Polish music expert Adrian Thomas, explore a rich vein of 17th and early 18th Century vocal and instrumental music from Poland, as performed by the group Retrospect directed by Matthew Halls.
In the second of two programmes exploring early music from Poland, Lucie reflects on highlights from a concert given by Retrospect recorded at last year's Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music, which featured music by Mikołaj Zieleński, Adam Jarzębski, Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki, Stanisław Sylwester Szarzyński and Damian Stachowicz.

Lots of new names for me to look forward to.

... lots of nice pronunciation challenges for our presenters, too!

Lucie can pronounce them however she likes as far as I'm concerned

I realise I may be accused of inconsistency here.

Good programme. Nice lute spots for Jacobs Heringman and Lindberg, and I liked the vengeful lutenist story. Getting your boss executed - now there's a thing.

Help!! Does anyone have an mp3 (or similar) recording of the Saturday show?

I had set both to record, but for some reason I just discovered that the first one didn't record

The particular reason ( because of course I can catch up on the iPlayer) is that I had promised to send a music-loving friend in Warsaw copies of both programmes!

I'd be very grateful for assistance!!

No joy....

Maybe the Early Music regulars aren't massive techno-people!!

too right. Can't get the vellum for that facsimile-sending-machinery any more. And it's getting well-nigh impossible to obtain porcupine quills for my phonograph, too...

An intriguing hint of the vernacular there, Mr V !

I have a supply of cat's whiskers for your wireless, should you ever run short....

Can't help with the show - but you may be able to use the podcast. You will get the talk, but not much of the music.

Yes, thanks OG - I have that. Was just hoping to send the whole thing... I guess that's my fall-back, as they say
