Tom McKinney presents specially recorded music from across the UK and Europe.

There will be a focus on 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artists with a specially recorded recital from Birmingham. Violist Timothy Ridout and pianist Jonathan Ware will perform a world premiere - Nahre Sol鈥檚 Shadow Waters (world premiere). Additionally bass-baritone James Atkinson will perform Gerald Finzi鈥檚 Let Us Garlands and pianist Elisabeth Brauss showcases music by Prokofiev.

Also in todays programme, a live concert from the 大象传媒 Philharmonic. Beginning with the spirited brilliance of Mozart鈥檚 Overture to The Magic Flute, a sparkling introduction bursting with energy, drama and iconic operatic sounds.

Richard Strauss鈥檚 Four Last Songs was composed in the final years of his life. Conducted by Corinna Niemeyer and showcasing the soaring soprano vocals of Aphrodite Patoulidou, this poignant masterpiece reflects on the beauty and transience of life itself.

Finally, delight in the charm of Respighi鈥檚 The Birds, where elegant orchestration brings avian sounds to life. Inspired by Baroque melodies, Respighi captures playful chirps, flutters and the sounds of nature in this colourful piece.
