Brian Kay introduces listeners' requests, including Beethoven's Quintet for Piano and Wind, played by the great German pianist Walter Gieseking with the Philharmonia Wind Quartet. Plus, John Rutter's Toccata in 7 for organ, so-called because of its unusual time signature. The theme of music inspired by jazz closes with the witty Jazz Suite No 1 by anniversary composer Shostakovich.
