Three hours of classical sparkle

Sunday Morning

Available for 28 days

Today, Sarah revels in all three movements of Shostakovich’s second piano concerto - both ebullient and mournful, and there’s a glittering violin concerto by Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen. There are also shimmering strings and bold brass from John Barry, and this week’s Choral Reflection is by David Lang, with a piece which embraces the never ending cycles of life. Plus, music inspired by a park with a view in South East London… A Tandem Production for ѿý Radio 3.
