Andrew McGregor with a special Record Review day celebrating the best classical recordings of the last 25 years, with guest contributors and mini-Building a Library features.

Andrew McGregor hosts the first part of a special Bank Holiday day-long celebration of the very best classical recordings of the last 25 years. Andrew will be joined in the studio by some of Record Review's regular guest contributors, and there will be three mini-Building a Library slots across the day - slimmed-down versions of Record Review鈥檚 regular feature, comparing some of the most recent versions of a particular key classical work.

In this second segment, Andrew will be joined by conductor Ben Gernon, who will introduce some of his favourite recordings of the 21st Century, and by composer and conductor Yshani Perinpanayagam for a mini-Building a Library on some of the best recent recordings of Mozart's Requiem. We'll hear an extended section of Yshani's top choice.

Plus, celebrity classical music fans reveal their favourite album of the century, and the day is packed with lots of the very best recordings of the very best classical music to make a great soundtrack for your Bank Holiday.
