with Andrew McGregor

0930 Building a Library
As part of 鶹Լ Music's Ten Pieces Secondary, which aims to open up the world of classical music to children aged 11 and above, Hannah French compares available versions of Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in E flat major and makes a personal recommendation. A favourite of the trumpet repertoire and possibly Haydn's most popular concerto, this work was composed in 1796 while the composer was working on The Creation. It was written for his long-time friend Anton Weidinger who had developed a keyed trumpet which could play chromatically, unlike the natural trumpet which had a more limited choice of notes.

1030
Andrew is joined live by Sarah Walker and David Nice to discuss recent releases of music by Brahms, Bruckner and Mahler

Andrew chooses an outstanding recording for his Disc of the Week.
