As part of Wigmore Hall's 125th Anniversary Festival two of today's acclaimed international quartets, the Modigliani from France and the Leonkoro from Germany, come together for a live performance of Mendelssohn's Octet. Their programme also includes music from Joaquin Turina - his colourful tone painting 'the Bullfighter's Prayer' - and music by the immensely talented Austro-Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff, whose life was prematurely cut short by the Second World War.

Following the celebratory live concert from Wigmore, Classical Live and Mark Forrest begin a fortnight in the company of ten of today's outstanding conductors. Classical Live presents recent specially made recordings drawing on concert performances from ten of the world's brightest stars of the podium. Today, the Finnish conductor Susanna M盲lkki performs two symphonies from fellow Finn Jean Sibelius, including Sibelius's taut and profound 7th Symphony.

And Classical Live also features recordings from France of music by some of the great French Baroque masters of the keyboard, performed by harpsichordist Jean Rondeau - a musician at the forefront of a movement to bring the harpsichord and its repertoire to serve our times.
