Louise Fryer presents a week featuring some of the leading musicians of our age. Later in the week, Claudio Abbado conducts his all-star Lucerne Festival Orchestra in Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert and Bruckner and Nikolaus Harnoncourt inspires his epoch-making Concentus Musikus, Wien in Haydn and Schubert. Also Simon Rattle directs the strings of the Berlin Philharmonic in Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht and today the unassuming master, Herbert Blomstedt conducts Brahms. Also today, Jordi Savall presents a sequence of music in celebration of the Virgin Mary of Montserrat. And, each afternoon, there's a mouth-watering scene from Rameau's colourful op茅ra-ballet, Les Indes galantes. All the recordings were made at continental Europe's leading music festivals.
