Rachmaninov's engaging virtuosic and witty Paganini Variations continues the spotlight on the work of the Ulster Orchestra today in a programme whcih also features chamber music highlights from the recent Cowbridge Festival. Introduced by Al Ryan.

Today, the Ulster Orchestra are joined by Chinese-American pianist Zhang Zuo - aka Zee Zee - for Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and two great symphonies: Mahler's epic First Symphony, the "Titan", and by way of contrast Mozart's poised and jewel-like Symphony No 39, with conductor Kristian Salinen.

Al also has more highlights from this year's Cowbridge Festival in Wales, including more Mozart - the Horn Quintet played by the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective with horn player Ben Goldscheider.

And there's also more from the Orsino Ensemble with music from Pavel Haas.
