Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto with Isata Kanneh-Mason

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

This week, Classical Live explores opera without words, today's instrumental highlights from Rameau's masterly opera 'Les Boreades', performed by La Scintilla Orchestra and Jakob Lehmann; we also have concert recordings from the Portico of Ards festival in County Down from harpist Catrin Finch and the Gesualdo Six; and following his sad death in February, throughout the week we’ll hear from an exclusive recital given by the Hungarian pianist and conductor Tamás Vásáry. And Isata Kanneh-Mason performs Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto in Scotland.
