大象传媒

Fiona Talkington presents a selection of 大象传媒 Radio 3 listeners' requests, which include a leading pianist trying his hand at composition and a piano concerto from a non-pianist composer.

Plus an oblique take on Mozart for winds, haunting sounds for the traditional Armenian duduk and cellist Steven Isserlis on the music an international soloist turns to for recuperation.
