Classical music from Denmark and the Cowbridge Music Festival in Wales

Hannah French showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond including music from the recent Cowbridge Festival and the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.

This week on Classical Live there is a focus on Danish music, thanks to our partnership with the European Broadcasting Union. The Danish National Symphony Orchestra perform Scriabin's Symphony No. 3 in C major and Concerto Copenhagen, one of the leading baroque orchestras in the world, perform Handel, Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre and Vivaldi.

Also in today's programme, a specially recorded performance of pianist Llyr Williams from this year's Cowbridge Music Festival. Situated in Cowbridge, a market town in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, the Cowbridge Music Festival was launched in 2010. It has since gained a place among the most exciting music festivals in Wales, with line-ups of classical music, jazz and folk.
