22/07/2011 Ferruccio Furlanetto, Nitin Sawhney

Presented by Sean Rafferty. With bass Ferruccio Furlanetto ahead of his Proms performance of Verdi's Requiem and multi-faceted musician Nitin Sawhney on his score for Human Planet.

Presented by Sean Rafferty.

Italian bass Ferruccio Furlanetto is one of the most sought-after singers in the world. He joins Sean in the studio ahead of his performance of the Verdi Requiem with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Semyon Bychkov at the BBC Proms.

Nitin Sawhney is one of the most distinctive and versatile musical voices alive today. Firmly established as a world-class producer, songwriter, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, orchestral composer and cultural pioneer, Sawhney has become a latter-day Renaissance man in the worlds of music, film, videogames, dance and theatre.

Nitin talks to Sean about the music he composed for the acclaimed BBC One series Human Planet and which is featured in two of this year's BBC Proms.
