Continuing this week's themes of Sibelius in Canada and British music in Germany. There's also an extended 'suite' of music from Wagner's Ring - but it's a singer-free zone.

Continuing our themes of the week - Sibelius in Canada and British music in Germany. In fact these performances are truly international - the Sibelius is conducted by one of the leading Danish maestros and the Britten (which was premiered in the USA) played by a young Dutch star with a conductor from Estonia. Borders - what borders?!

Then if you love Wagner but aren't so sure about opera singers we've just the thing - an extended 'suite' of music from Wagner's 'Ring' without a single voice to be heard.
