Saturday Classics this week is presented by one of the 大象传媒's great broadcasters. Peter Day has presented business programmes on 大象传媒 Radio 4 and the World Service for many years. Yet, he has an abiding passion for music, which has underpinned his life since childhood.

His highly personal selection embraces the musical worlds of Dvorak, Scarlatti, Monteverdi, Jake Thackray, Shostakovich, Mozart and Mahler.
