Mark Forrest showcases unique concert recordings from home and abroad, including the award-winning Danish Baroque orchestra Concerto Copenhagen at the recent Lammermuir Festival. Mark selects highlights from three recitals.

Elsewhere, Classical Live's orchestra-in-focus the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales joins conductor Lionel Bringuier to perform one of classical music's best-loved works: 'Scheherazade' by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. A four-movement suite, telling the mythical tale of One Thousand and One Nights, 'Scheherazade' is probably Rimsky-Korsakov's most famous composition, dazzling with colour, magic and opulence.
