With Sarah Walker. In this week of the Royal Wedding, music with Pomp and Circumstance, recordings by Mitsuko Uchida, plus our Friday virtuoso, violinist Salvatore Accardo plays Paganini.

As the bells ring out in Westminster Abbey, we celebrate today's Royal Wedding with music full of pomp and circumstance used for royal occasions - Handel's Zadok the Priest, one of four anthems composed for the coronation of George II in 1727. We also play Swedish Baroque composer Johan Helmich Roman's Music for a Royal Wedding, a selection of pieces written for the four-day-long wedding of Crown Prince Adolf Frederick of Sweden and his bride Louisa Ulrika of Prussia.
