Katie Derham presents music by Scarlatti, Bach, Holst, Vaughan Williams and Grieg. Plus Act 2 of Nebra's Viento es la dicha de amor.

Katie Derham concludes her week-long exploration of the Iberian Baroque with the second part of de Nebra's zarzuela, 'Wind is the Happiness of Love.' And Holst and Vaughan-Williams's London is the featured city on the Brink in today's look at music premiered on the eve of the First World War.
