'Musical partnerships' is a thread running through this month's programmes, and in this edition Verdi's rocky collaboration with librettist Arrigo Boito falls under the spotlight, with excerpts from Placido Domingo's interpretation of Otello.
Plus 20th century choral music from the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, Finzi's orchestral elegy The Fall of the Leaf and a remarkable vintage performance of Sibelius' Violin Concerto Op 47 from the French virtuoso Ginette Neveu.
