Penny Gore presents 'A Week at the Concertgebouw' - the Amsterdam concert hall with a famously beautiful acoustic, home to one of the world's great orchestras.

You can hear the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday - including a performance of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony with their Conductor Laureate Bernard Haitink and, to start the week, Ivan Fischer conducting Wagner.

Foreign visitors to the Concertgebouw during the week include:
- The Berlin Philharmonic Virtuosi playing Italian Baroque music.
- The Venice Baroque Orchestra playing Vivaldi.
- The Berlin Academy of Ancient Music playing Bach.
- The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra directed by clarinettist Paul Meyer in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, one of a trio of concertante works for clarinet across the week.

Afternoon on 3 also focuses on top orchestral and choral performances by the Dutch counterparts to the 大象传媒's own orchestras and choirs - the Netherlands Radio Chorus, Philharmonic and Chamber Philharmonic, who can be heard year-round at the Concertgebouw. Highlights include:
- The Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic conducted by Scottish composer James MacMillan, by Philippe Herreweghe in Brahms, and by their Chief Conductor Michael Schoenwandt in music from his native Scandinavia.
- Their bigger sister orchestra, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, conducted by American composer John Adams in the Dutch premi猫re of a work they co-commissioned.

The mix of music - from Bach to John Adams - is rounded out with particular features on:
- Italian music - all day on Thursday, including this week's Thursday Opera Matinee, Donizetti's 'Anna Bolena' from the Vienna State Opera, starring Anna Netrebko as Henry VIII's ill-fated second wife Anne Boleyn.
- The music of Russia - every day, including some of Stravinsky's greatest choral works and, on Monday, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture to continue Radio 3's tie-in with Martin Sixsmith's Russian history series on Radio 4 ('Russia: the Wild East').
