Chi-chi Nwanoku presents an unusually alliterative selection of Radio 3 listeners' requests. Mosolov, Maxwell Davies, Mussorgsky and Mendelssohn vie with Britten and Boccherini (as well as a brass band), while the programme concludes with a rare performance of three famous Dvorak overtures in sequence, as the composer intended: In Nature's Realm, Carnival and Othello.
