Russia - Orthodox and unorthodox

A musical journey taking us from England old and new (Dowland and Elgar), Scotland new and newer (a track from Anna Meredith's new album, plus Peter Maxwell Davies's arrangements of Bach) via Sweden (Berwald) to Russian orthodox and not-so-orthodox (music from Borodin and the folk band Otava Yo).
