Penny Gore with music from the Concertgebouw. Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No 3. Stravinsky: Basle Concerto in D. Milhaud: Scaramouche. Plus music by Elgar, Mozart and Bruckner.

Penny Gore presents a week of top concerts from the Concertgebouw' - the Amsterdam concert hall with a famously beautiful acoustic, and home to one of the world's great orchestras. Today the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra play Bruckner's Seventh Symphony under the baton of a man who first conducted them 55 years ago and was their Chief Conductor for a quarter of a century - Bernard Haitink, their current Conductor Emeritus. That's the climax of a programme with British and Germanic threads running through it, including a concert conducted at the Concertgebouw by leading Scottish composer James MacMillan.
