Carl Nielsen likened wind instruments to
"a person who sleeps, whom I have to wake to life. I think through the instruments themselves, almost as if I had crept insidethem." Nielsen's fondness for wind instruments is closely related to his love of nature and his fascination for living, breathing things.

Sean Rafferty presents a special St David's Day programme from Cardiff and looks beyond the miners' lamps, leeks and laver bread to find out what it is to be Welsh in the 21st century. Poet Gwyneth Lewis demonstrates that the Welsh language is very much alive and well, but what of Welsh harpists and male-voice choirs? Traditional sounds mix with the latest in contemporary music-making with highlights from the stars of Welsh National Opera and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
