Ades, Stenhammar, Ravel, Britten

Fiona Talkington presents Radio 3 listeners' requests, including works by Thomas Ades, Stenhammar, Ravel, Britten and Liszt. Plus music from Toumani Diabate and Ketama.

Fiona Talkington introduces another eclectic selection of your requests, from one of the finest choral moments from "The Creation" by Haydn, to a modern British chamber masterpiece by Thomas Ades. Along the way there's some dashing variety from Henry Hall and the 大象传媒 Dance Orchestra, a miniature Swedish rhapsody by Stenhammar, Ravel's Sonatine for piano, and a selection from the brilliant world music album "Songhai" - as performed by kora player Toumani Diabate and flamenco group Ketama. Plus, major orchestral works by Britten and Liszt, and a cameo for the glass harmonica...
