Three Hours of Classical Sparkle

Sunday Morning

Available for 28 days

Today, Sarah chooses orchestral gems from Gershwin and Mozart, Spanish flavours from Massenet and de Falla, and delicate piano from Schubert in the hands of Arcadi Volodos. There’s a chance to hear the whole of Rachmaninov's soul-stirring Second Piano Concerto, and this week's Choral Reflection guides us home with the music of Stephen Paulus. Also, Prokofiev whisks us off to the dancefloor… A Tandem Production for BBC Radio 3.
