With Sarah Walker. This week recordings from Willi Boskovsky, music for amateurs to play and for people to learn about classical music, plus a selection of Light Music featuring in last Saturday's CD Review.

Willi Boskovsky was best known as conductor of Vienna's famous New Year's Day Concerts - a role he took over in 1954 and continued to perform till his retirement in 1979. Under Boskovsky's baton, the concerts became electrifying celebrations of the Viennese popular masters, above all Johann Strauss Jr.

All this week on Classical Collection, Sarah Walker presents a selection of Willi Boskovsky's finest recordings, today including Johann Strauss II's Overture to Die Fledermaus played by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Sarah will also be celebrating the other side of Boskovsky's career; from 1936 he led the Vienna Philharmonic, so we'll hear him as leader and soloist in the classic recording of Richard Strauss's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme.
