Chi-chi Nwanoku presents a special, all-Haydn edition of Radio 3 Requests. Radio 3 listeners, perhaps inspired by Radio 3's own Haydn celebrations, choose their favourites; music from all corners of a huge and varied repertoire. Expect glorious moments from symphonies, string quartets and masses - as well as less well-known gems from the operatic and vocal music. With a guest request from the violinist, Matthew Truscott.

To make a request, write to Radio 3 Requests, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Wales, Cardiff CF5 2Y, or email radio3requests@bbc.co.uk
