From Monday to Wednesday this week Louise Fryer introduces performances by the BBC Philharmonic. There's a Spanish thread inspired by the BBC Philharmonic's new Basque-born Chief Conductor Juanjo Mena, with works by Spanish composers and also by Maurice Ravel whose mother was Basque and who was inspired by Spain throughout his life.
