BBC Radio 3 - In Tune, Monday - Sean Rafferty

Sean Rafferty with live music from pianist Christian Blackshaw.

Sean Rafferty's guests include pianist Christian Blackshaw ahead of a recital in London. Plus The Story of Music in 50 Pieces: Strauss: The Dance of the Seven Veils (Salome).

Sean Rafferty's guests include acclaimed pianist Christian Blackshaw ahead of his hotly anticipated recital at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. Rarely heard in public for over a decade, Blackshaw's idiosyncratic performances require concert halls to be plunged into near-darkness - and it will be same in the In Tune studio when he performs live on the show!

Also today, the continuation of The Story of Music in 50 pieces. Composer Howard Goodall, in conversation with Suzy Klein, explores his personal choice of 50 compositions that changed the course of music history. Broadcast on In Tune every weekday at 5.30pm, The Story of Music continues in Essential Classics weekdays at 11am, and each instalment is available as a download.
Today: The dance of the seven veils from Strauss's opera Salome

Main headlines are at 5pm and 6pm.
