Andrew McGregor introduces the latest releases, and looks at some of the CDs of the past season chosen by the CD Review critics and listeners. Including from 9.05am A selection of new releases of early music from Spain, France and the Low Countries, including recordings from Jordi Savall's Hesperion XXI and baroque guitarist William Carter. From 10.00am A survey of recent releases from the Lyrita Recorded Edition, a ground-breaking project founded in 1959 exploring little-known masterpieces of the British classical canon. Including a sonorously scored evocation of the River Thames by Elizabeth Maconchy, EJ Moeran's nostalgically lyrical second Rhapsody, and the monumental Cello Concerto by Gerald Finzi in the recording that launched the career of cellist Yo-Yo Ma. From 11.15am In its latest recording of Neapolitan Baroque music, Italian ensemble Cappella de'Turchini unearths a forgotten Requiem by local maestro Francesco Provenzale. 12.30am Disc of the Week Highlights from a new CD and DVD featuring pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque.
