Building a Library: Sarah Walker joins Andrew in the studio to discuss and recommend a recording of Haydn's Symphony No 102.
The tenth of Haydn's so-called 'London' symphonies, it was specially commissioned for performance in the city. In the hands of an insightful interpreter, it can be in turns joyous, incisive, and moving - Sarah guides us to the ultimate must-have version.
10.50
Caroline Gill pops in to talk about a brace of recent releases of chamber music and concertos by Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev.
11.25
Andrew chooses an outstanding new release as his Recording of the Week.
