Available for 29 days

Mark Forrest showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe. Continuing our major focus this week on our BBC Orchestras playing Brahms, today we hear his 3rd Symphony performed in Aberdeen by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. We return to Wales for more chamber music recorded last year at the Hay and Cowbridge Festivals: former Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Mithras Trio play Ravel in Hay and the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective perform the Horn Trio by Brahms in Cowbridge. Also, we’ll be hearing music by Bach and Vivaldi from our Ensemble in Focus this week, the superb Italian Baroque group Accademia Bizantina. 1pm Johannes Brahms Symphony No. 3 in F major BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Ryan Wigglesworth (conductor) Johann Sebastian Bach Concerto for Flute, Violin and Harpsichord, BWV1044 Marcello Gatti (flute) Alessandro Tampieri (violin) Ottavio Dantone (harpsichord and director) Accademia Bizantina Maurice Ravel Piano Trio Mithras Trio Dora Pejacevic Impromptu for Piano Quartet Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective Johannes Brahms Trio in E flat major for horn, violin and piano Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective Antonio Vivaldi Concerto for viola d'amore in A minor, RV 394 Alessandro Tampieri (viola d'amore) Accademia Bizantina Ottavio Dantone (harpsichord and director) Antonio Vivaldi Concerto for violin in G minor, RV315 ‘Summer’ (3rd mvt, Presto) Alessandro Tampieri (violin) Accademia Bizantina Ottavio Dantone (harpsichord and director) To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Classical Live".
