Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances and Elgar's Cockaigne overflow with scintillating energy and as well as warmth and good humour. And there's intense youthful passion to be found in Bruch's First Violin Concerto, a jewel of romantic violin music, played here by Tasmin Little.

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.
