Mark Forrest introduces an afternoon of live music and specially recorded performances from around the world. In today’s programme, music from the Barber Series of Lunchtime Concerts at the University of Birmingham, where the Chaos Quartet play Bartok's 3rd quartet. Also today, Mark begins a week of recent live recordings from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra – this afternoon, you can hear nature-inspired pieces by Finnish composers Rautavaara and Sibelius.

And, as ever on a Monday, we’re live from London's Wigmore Hall, where today violinist Alina Ibragimova, cellist Christian Poltera and pianist Cedric Tiberghien play piano trios by Debussy and Ravel.
