Linton Stephens showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including Bach鈥檚 monumental B minor mass performed by Vox Luminis and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.

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

We end the week with a concert performance of Bach鈥檚 B minor mass from Vox Luminis, our ensemble in focus. Recorded at last year鈥檚 Wratislava Cantans Festival, the Belgium Baroque vocal group and the musicians of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra are conducted by Lionel Meunier in Bach鈥檚 monumental masterpiece.

Plus we return to two of the world鈥檚 finest classical venues for more world-class music-making: the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra play Farrenc and Hermann in Hamburg鈥檚 spectacular Elbphilmarmonie; and there鈥檚 music by a prodigious Erich Korngold played by a trio of former 麻豆社 Radio 3 New Generation Artists 鈥 violinist Johan Dalene, cellist Andres Brantelid and pianist Christian Ihle Hadland 鈥 from London鈥檚 Wigmore Hall.
