This week Afternoon on 3 celebrates the music of Michael Tippett with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra. Today's offering includes a concert they gave last week featuring his Third Symphony paired with Beethoven's Triple Concerto - you can hear Tippett's own Triple Concerto tomorrow.

And as part of the Baroque Spring celebrations, the orchestra have specially recorded Tippett's Fantasia Concertante on a Theme of Corelli to kick off the whole week - together with his Handel Fantasia for Wednesday's programme.

Plus Stephen Hough as composer and pianist, with a solo recital including his own Sonata No. 2.

Presented by Katie Derham.
