Presented by Penny Gore, featuring concert recordings from 大象传媒 orchestras and ensembles from around Europe.

Today at 3pm, Finnish conductor Klaus Makela leads the Paris Orchestra in Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra. Known to millions through its use in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, as well as other films and TV shows, Strauss's Nietzsche-inspired tone poem takes us on an astounding musical and philosophical journey. Also today, there's more operatic fayre from the Berlin Philharmonic with tenor Jonas Kaufmann, and Kirill Petrenko conducts the orchestra in the fantasy piece Tchaikovsky was inspired to compose following a journey he made to Rome.
