Later this Saturday, BBC Two keeps the music flowing with “Covers in the Piano Room at the BBC,” a collection of memorable performances recorded at the legendary Maida Vale Studios in London. Here, the magic comes from hearing familiar pop hits reimagined by some of today’s biggest names, accompanied by the richness and depth of the BBC Concert Orchestra.
The program features a diverse lineup of artists taking on classic tracks. Jessie Ware puts her spin on Cher’s iconic “Believe,” while Stormzy offers a fresh take on Oleta Adams’s soulful “Get Here.” P!nk tackles Sinéad O’Connor’s emotionally charged “Nothing Compares 2 U,” and Coldplay brings their signature sound to The Proclaimers’ “Sunshine on Leith.” It’s a mix of styles and generations, a musical melting pot where familiar songs find new life.
“Covers in the Piano Room at the BBC” provides a unique opportunity to hear these songs presented in a completely new light, stripped down to their essence and then rebuilt with orchestral grandeur. Don’t miss it this Saturday, April 5th at 10:40 PM on BBC Two.
