Rob Cowan looks at how one composer has tackled the work of another, including Thomas Beecham's arrangements of Handel, and plays the week's Telemann cantata.

Rob Cowan's Sunday selection explores famous composers' works through the eyes of another, including Thomas Beecham's arrangements of Handel, Stokowski's take on Mussorgsky and Gordon Jacob's view of Liszt. The programme also includes Dvorak's Symphonic Variations, and the Telemann cantata: Christus der ist min Leben.
