BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Summer Festivals - Europe and Beyond, Episode 1

Music from 2010's summer festivals, by Purcell, Haydn, Brahms, Hamelin and Vivaldi.

Penny Gore with music from 2010's summer festivals. Purcell: Welcome to All the Pleasures. Haydn: Symphony No 44. Brahms: Ein Deutsches Requiem. Plus works by Hamelin and Vivaldi.

When BBC Radio 3 spends most of the summer at the Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, its easy to lose sight of other festivals happening across Europe and beyond, and this week in Afternoon on 3 we will try to redress the balance, visiting 27 festivals across 16 countries, including Norway and Sweden, Germany and the USA. This week also has a Brahms focus, with a piece of his each day, starting today with his German Reqiuem, which also introduces another theme of "Choral" works across the week, culminating n Friday with Mendelssohn's Elijah. And there's an opportunity to hear some of the current crop of Early Music specialists across the week too.

Presented by Penny Gore.
