Also on the orchestra's playlist today is a specially recorded performance of Busoni's Violin Concerto with Italian violinist Francesca Dego plus music by the French composer Guillaume Connesson inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft.
Pianist Paul Lewis begins a short personal selection of sonatas by Schubert and we've the nect installment in Radio 3's series of new commissions '25 for 25' charting milestones from the first twenty-five years of the Twenty-First Century through new music.
