A seasonal classical selection

Clive Myrie introduces classical favourites to celebrate the Christmas season, including music from Nigeria, a carol by Jonathan Rathbone and a seasonal gem by Saint-Sa毛ns.

On Sunday lunchtimes throughout December, Clive Myrie presents four hour-long shows to celebrate the festive season. Clive will gradually build the seasonal atmosphere over the month, with a feast of Advent and Christmas classical music alongside some of his personal discoveries.

In today's show, Clive introduces music from a favourite Yuletide film, alongside upbeat Christmas music from Nigeria, a beautiful carol from Jonathan Rathbone sung by Tenebrae, and a seasonal favourite from Camille Saint-Sa毛ns.

Plus, Clive muses on what December would have been like around the Bachs' Christmas table...
