BBC Singers in Good Friday Music.

Repertoire for Good Friday by Victoria, Jonathan Weeks, Schutz, Leighton and Drayton with the BBC Singers. Plus, Our Classical Century: Britten's War Requiem - Agnus Dei.

James Weeks conducts the BBC Singers in a programme featuring his own work for choir and narrator, Orlando Tenebrae, as part of repertoire linked to Good Friday. At the heart of the programme are Lenten-related works that make no reference to Christian or religious specifics in their texts. The Orlando Tenebrae takes these ancient texts into a modern, secular frame of reference, where the theme becomes oppression, suffering and hope. The programme continues with two pieces inspired by Good Friday, with the BBC Singers performing first Kenneth Leighton's Crucifixus Pro Nobis and then, Paul Drayton's The Passion of Christ as told by Mark the Evangelist.

Also today, Our Classical Century, as we continue to explore repertoire that was crucial in the development of our contemporary music. Today, it's Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, from which we hear the Agnus Dei in the celebrated version featuring tenor Peter Pears and the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by the composer. Presented by Hannah French.

Celebrating the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Ilan Volkov conducts CPE Bach and Bruckner, and is joined by Carolin Widmann in Stravinsky's spiky violin concerto. Presented by Hannah French.

The theme of Bruckner's 7th Symphony came to him in a dream, while the theme of Stravinsky's Violin Concerto came to him at dinner - we don't know where CPE Bach thought up his Symphony in Eb, but his music, which opens this concert, was pivotal in the development of the classical forms that Stravinsky would later draw on in his so-called 'Neoclassical' works. Nevertheless, it is the music of his father JS Bach which is most resonant in Stravinsky's 1931 Violin Concerto: a work almost entirely derived from a single chord, scribbled on a napkin. The BBC SSO, and conductor Ilan Volkov, are joined by the sparky virtuoso Carolin Widmann to play it.

In contrast to the concision of these two composers' music stands Bruckner's 7th Symphony. It is massively more expansive in length but still owes a great deal to CPE Bach's 18th century formal innovations. Written in the 1880s it won international recognition for its composer.

The folk hero Kullervo was the inspiration behind one of Jean Sibelius' earliest masterpieces, a powerful national statement for a country struggling to overthrow Russian rule. This massive musical hybrid - part cantata, part symphony, part suite - is a vivid and thrilling work, richly melodic but looking ahead to modernism.

Presented by Hannah French

Swiss Summer Festivals.

Penny Gore presents music recorded at Swiss summer festivals in Lucerne and Verbier last year, featuring pieces by Stravinsky, Mozart, Rimsky-Korsakov and Saint-Saëns.

Fairy tales were a theme running through the 2018 Lucerne Summer Festival, depicting musical images of childhood. Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra's opening concert takes us into the world of Russian fairy-tale with Igor Stravinsky’s flamboyantly colourful and lushly orchestrated Firebird. The eponymous bird frees Prince Ivan Czarevich and the beautiful Czarina from captivity in the garden of the evil wizard Kashchei as a reward to the Prince for his kindness. Decades later, another magical garden, the wondrous Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C., inspired Stravinsky to compose his neoclassical concerto of the same name. Between the two, Lang Lang joins the orchestra for Mozart's great C minor piano concerto.
We then travel nearly 200 miles south west to Verbier, for a taste of the concert Valery Gergiev performed with the Verbier Festival Orchestra at the start of their 2018 Summer Festival, for more Russian storytelling as we enter the world of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade.
