Music by Bach, Bartok and Brahms, plus Berio's quirky and inventive '60s masterpiece 'Sinfonia' featuring the vocal talents of The Swingle Singers

Presented by Hannah French

The KBS Symphony Orchestra and conductor Yoel Levi pair orchestral suites by Bach and Bartok with Luciano Berio's ground-breaking Sinfonia, which pitches eight voices singing, shouting, crying and whispering against an orchestral tapestry of quotations, allusions and commentaries. The soloists in this performance, recorded in Seoul last year, are members of The Swingle Singers, the ensemble that gave the work's premiere in 1968

Plus we conclude this week's tribute to Scottish composer Thea Musgrave who last year celebrated her ninetieth birthday
