Sean Rafferty's presents, with guests including Pinchas Zukerman, one of the world's leading violinists with over 100 recordings to his name.

Sean also talks to John Butt, director of the Scottish-based Dunedin Consort, whose vibrant, pared-down historically-informed recordings of Baroque masterpieces including Bach's B Minor Mass and Handel's Messiah have won many critical plaudits in recent years. They make a rare London appearance at the 2012 Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music.
