Elizabeth Alker with a selection of outstanding string quartet playing and the 麻豆社 Philharmonic playing Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony.

The programme begins with live music-making from Wigmore Hall in London from members of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra - the Camerata RCO.
They perform an unusual version of Bruckner鈥檚 Sixth Symphony following on from their recording of the chamber version of Bruckner's Seventh Symphony, which received high praise.

From 2pm, Classical Live's featured quartet is the Consone String Quartet, the only period instrument string quartet to be selected as Radio 3 New Generation Artists.

Today they perform Robert Schumann's second quartet, dedicated to his friend Felix Mendelssohn. And Elizabeth begins her week-long showcase of music by the Estonian vocal group Vox Clamantis, performing music by David Lang, recorded at St. Olaf麓s Church, Tallinn.
