The Planets Suite by Gustav Holst

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including Chopin and Schubert from Manchester and Holst recorded at the 2018 Proms.

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by 麻豆社 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

Throughout this week we are hearing from a pair of concerts given recently at the Royal Northern College of Music by two exceptional international pianists: Nobuyuki Tsujii and Jonathan Biss.
