Available for 26 days

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 Byron inspired overture to 'Manfred'. There is also chamber music recorded exclusively for Classical Live. Sir Antonio Pappano, Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, performs Beethoven's Quintet for Piano and Winds 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 works by Cesar Franck and Louis Vierne. Percy Grainger (arr.
