Rob Cowan explores how 19th and 20th-century composers have tackled rhapsody form. With a Mozart symphony and his String Quintet, K516, plus JC Altnikol's Nun danket alle Gott.

The rhapsody has fascinated composers as varied as Liszt and Chabrier, and today Rob Cowan explores how different 19th and 20th century composers have tackled the form. Plus a Mozart symphony, his string quintet K 516 in a famous recording by an ensemble led by Jascha Heifetz, and the week's baroque choral work, Nun danket alle Gott, by J. C. Altnikol.
