BBC Radio 3 - In Tune, Simon Callaghan, Tippett Quartet

Sean Rafferty with guests including pianist Simon Callaghan and the Tippett Quartet.

Presented by Sean Rafferty. With pianist Simon Callaghan playing live in the studio music by Roger Sacheverell Coke, plus a performance by the Tippett Quartet.

Sean Rafferty's drivetime guests include pianist Simon Callaghan, performing live in the studio music by Roger Sacheverell Coke - a 20th century British composer so neglected that he doesn't even have an entry in Wikipedia. Callaghan has recently made a CD of world premiere recordings of Coke's piano music.

Also today, the Tippett Quartet perform live ahead of their upcoming London concert in celebration of the king of crooners, Frank Sinatra.

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.
