Concerts from across Europe with Fiona Talkington. Tonight includes two Schubert Symphonies recorded at the W眉rzburg Mozart Festival in Germany.

Fiona Talkington presents performances from across Europe

We are back this week at the W眉rzburg Mozart Festival with two Schubert symphonies - live performances of pieces that Heinz Holliger has been working with the Basel Chamber Orchestra to bring out as commercial recordings.

And the Karajan Academy are back with Ravel. The young musicians of the Karajan Academy are supported and mentored by members of the Berlin Philharmonic and are playing Ravel's orchestral tribute to Couperin.

And among these orchestral delights comes a powerful Piano Trio by Mieczys艂aw Weinberg, a Polish-born composer of Jewish heritage, who fled east to the Soviet Union at the outbreak of the Second World War - he was the only survivor from his immediate family. Weinberg struck up a friendship with Shostakovich and this trio shares some of his friend's soundworld, but this is also a powerfully personal and individual piece. The Marvin Trio have been winning chamber music prizes across the globe, exciting audiences with their skill and commitment, and this resonates strongly in the Weinberg Trio as they count former Eastern Bloc countries as their homes.
