Autumn: Four Seasons in One Day

Elizabeth Alker marks the 300th anniversary of the publication of Vivaldi's Four Seasons with an autumnal flavour, including Renaud Capu莽on's recording of Autumn.

Today's Classical Live marks the 300th anniversary of the publication of Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons with violinist Renaud Capu莽on's acclaimed recording of Autumn.

There's music with an autumnal feel from Johannes Brahms, Gerald Finzi, Joachim Raff and Christopher Simpson, plus CountryFile presenter and renowned broadcaster John Craven tells us about one of his favourite autumnal sounds of Britain.

There's more exclusive recordings made for Radio 3 and Classical Live from from LSO St. Luke's and this week's orchestra in focus, the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra.
