Shostakovich's masterly Piano Quintet recorded at this month's Cowbridge Festival is just one of today's programme highlights alongside the rarely heard Stanford 2nd Piano Concerto with Finghin Collins and the Ulster Orchestra forming part of this week's spotlight on that orchestra. Presented by Al Ryan.
