Andrew McGregor presents the first edition of Summer Record Review with a mix of recent recordings and a look back at some of the best recordings of the last year. Also, there's a chance to hear some recordings of works by Galina Ustvolskaya who's music will be heard at the Proms this week and Rob Cowan examines a hefty box set of recordings from the Bamberg Symphony orchestra.

9.00 Three concerto recordings from Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia

9.30 Proms Composer: Galina Ustvolskaya (1919-2006) 
The first instalment of Summer Record Review's weekly look at a Proms Composer explores recordings of music by Galina Ustvolskaya, a favourite pupil of Shostakovich who forged in Soviet Russia a concentrated, deeply personal path for her music.

10.08 Rob Cowan joins Andrew to pick some highlights from a 17-disc box set of recordings by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Founded in the late 1940s and with many former members of the German Philharmonic of Prague among its ranks, the Bamberg SO enjoyed a close association with many leading conductors of the post-war period including Joseph Keilberth, Istvan Kertesz, Horst Stein and Kurt Sanderling.

11.08 Andrew looks at some of this year's releases of choral music including Palestrina from the King's Singers and Jonathan Harvey from the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge.

1135 Beethoven Triple Concerto in C, Op. 56 
Giuliano Carmignola (violin), Sol Gabetta (cello), Dejan Lazic (piano)
Kammerorchester Basel, Giovanni Antonini (conductor).
