Elizabeth Alker brings you an afternoon of exclusive music making which includes a spotlight on Italian vistas. The programme opens with a performance from Italy's radio symphony orchestra, the RAI National Symphony Orchestra. They perform Respighi's evocative symphonic poem Fountains of Rome. In keeping with the Italian spotlight, Sibelius' Symphony No. 2, which was largely composed in Italy, will be performed by the 麻豆社 Philharmonic and conductor John Storgards. The Italian light, warmth, and landscape were a stark contrast to Finland and had a noticeable effect on Sibelius' mood and musical thinking. Also featured is a recital from La Scintilla Orchestra and conductor Riccardo Minasi who perform music by Carlo Farina.

There is also a spotlight on recent recordings from the current Radio 3 New Generation Artists throughout. Major young international performers widely considered to be the future classical music stars of tomorrow. The Astatine Trio perform Haydn's Piano Trio in E flat, tenor Santiago Sanchez sings music by Liszt and violinist Hana Chang joins forces with the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra to perform B茅la Bart贸k's Violin Concerto No. 1
