From Cadogan Hall, London. Presented by Christopher Cook.

The Proms's 2008 commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Ralph Vaughan Williams's death continues as celebrated British tenor Mark Padmore joins the Nash Ensemble for a performance of On Wenlock Edge - six settings of words by AE Housman exploring themes of hope and loss in the Romantic backdrop of a Shropshire landscape.

Plus a rare chance to hear a work by one of Vaughan Williams's fellow students at the Royal College of Music - Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's masterly Clarinet Quintet, written in response to a challenge from his teacher Charles Stanford to write a work that would match up to Brahms's famous Quintet without revealing that composer's influence.

Featuring singer Kaushiki Chakrabarty and a performance of Raag Abhogi.

Kaushiki Chakrabarty has become one of the most revered singers in Indian classical music. Jameela Siddiqi introduces her performance of Raag Abhogi, recorded at the Darbar Festival in Leicester.

Though still only in her twenties, Kaushiki Chakrabarty has become one of the most revered singers in Indian classical music.  Jameela Siddiqi introduces her performance of a single piece, Raag Abhogi, recorded earlier this year at the Darbar Festival in Leicester.  

Promo notes
Kaushiki Chakrabarty was first noticed outside India in 2005 when she won a BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music.  She was trained by her father, the renowned singer Ajoy Chakrabarty, and in her debut year she was acclaimed by revered Indian maestros such as Pandit Jasraj, who praised her as 'the one who will keep the lamp if India's classical tradition burning bright.'  This performance was recorded for World Routes in April this year, at the Darbar Festival in Leicester, accompanied by Ajay Joglekar on harmonium, and Sanju Sahai on tabla.  Jameela Siddiqi talks to Kaushiki about the Festival, about her voice, and her about the one Raag she sings in the programme, Raag Abhogi, with words dedicated to India's flute-playing god, Lord Krishna.

Lucie Skeaping presents a programme which looks at the development of the Baroque bassoon, from its forerunner - the curtel, dulcian or bajon. With the help of the historian and author Maggie Kilbey and The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's Andrew Watts, they chart the spread and popularity of the instrument throughout Europe and the New World, for use in church music and in chamber ensembles. The music is a very diverse selection, including works by Vivaldi, Schütz, Padilla, Salazar, Bertoli, Marini, Handel and Telemann.
