Friday - BBC National Orchestra of Wales live from Cardiff

Nicola Heyward Thomas introduces the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, live from Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff. Baritone Ashley Riches sings Russian repertoire, and the orchestra celebrates Afternoon Concert's tone poem theme with a programme dedicated to the form, and examples by Shostakovich, Scriabin and Liszt. Then it's back to the studio with Penny Gore for Sibelius's Fifth Symphony and another tone poem - Richard Arnell's portrait of Lord Byron.
