Julian Rachlin, Iestyn Davies and Joseph Middleton

Violinist/conductor Julian Rachlin joins Sean Rafferty for some pastoral Beethoven, and countertenor Iestyn Davies and pianist Joseph Middleton explore the notion of the divine.

Violinist and conductor Julian Rachlin is in concert with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducting Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, and performing a Mozart's Sinfonia alongside violist Sarah McElravy. Tonight the Lithuanian musician is Sean Rafferty's guest, live from Birmingham.

Counter tenor Iestyn Davies and pianist Joseph Middleton join Sean Rafferty and perform a selection of songs live in the studio from their new album - "Divine Music: An English Songbook"
