Since we can't visit New Zealand in the flesh, let Fiona Talkington and Georgia Mann spirit you away there this week by the power of radio - for a series of concerts by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and Auckland Philharmonia, featuring local composers and artists. The series begins with Beethoven's First Symphony and ends with his last - both conducted by the NZSO's Dutch-born Conductor Laureate Edo de Waart, who appears with them in each programme. The Auckland Philharmonia focus on music by women composers, including young New Zealanders Salina Fisher and Claire Cowan as well as Clara Schumann, in a concert celebrating the 125th anniversary of women's suffrage in New Zealand - the first country in the world to give women the vote. Plus Rameau's masterpiece Hippolyte et Aricie from Paris as the Thursday Opera Matinee.
