Mozart's unfinished Requiem is one of the best-loved masterpieces of classical choral music. But strip away the rumours, legends and the layers of alterations, and it turns out that the piece we usually hear is only half the story. Donald Runnicles directs the acclaimed National Youth Choir of Scotland and a quartet of world-class soloists in a revelatory new completion of the Requiem prepared, with a creator's insight, by the great Canadian Mozartian Robert Levin. Hear this transcendent music with new ears - and savour the intense commitment that the young American cellist Alisa Weilerstein brings to Elgar's war requiem of a cello concerto.

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.
