The Berlin Philharmonic perform music by Grainger, Dvořák and Schumann

Elizabeth Alker brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including a focus on one of the finest orchestras in the world, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Today, they perform three works: Frederick Fennell's arrangement of Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy; violinist Benjamin Beilman joins the orchestra for Dvořák's Violin Concerto in A minor; and to end the programme, Schumann's Overture to 'Manfred, Op. 115', after Byron.
There is also chamber music recorded exclusively for BBC Radio 3. Sir Antonio Pappano, Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, performs Beethoven's Quintet for Piano and Winds in E-flat major with colleagues at LSO St Luke's.
Also featured is an inaugural recital given by organist Olivier Latry recorded at St John’s College Chapel, Cambridge. Titular Organist at Notre-Dame de Paris, Olivier is one of the leading ambassadors for the organ. Today he performs Franck's Choral No. 3 and Vierne's Carillon de Westminster.
