Presented by Martin Handley

Principal conductor, Kirill Karabits's brilliantly conceived programme pairs two works written in 1926 but conceived over a much longer time frame. Music from Prokofiev's opera, The Fiery Angel, is re-worked in gloriously symphionic terms in his rarely heard Third Symphony whilst Rachmaninov Fourth Piano Concerto ended an eight year drought following the composer's enforced move from his homeland following the Russian Revolution. The Novgorod-born, Denis Kozhukhin is the soloist in this concerto - as much for the orchestra as the pianist - which is by turns improvisatory, jazzy and yet typically noble. Ravel's deadly-aimed shot at the lost world of Imperial Vienna rounds off the programme in a crescendo of the macabre.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
