Broadcasts
Hailed as 'the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time', Angela Hewitt is embarking on a Bach world tour from the autumn. Here she showcases two of his wonderfully imaginative Partitas, and adds a touch of Spanish seasoning with sonatas by Scarlatti, composed for the Crown Princess Maria Barbara, and borrowing the dramatic gestures of the guitar.

Live on BBC Radio 3 In the first of his two Proms with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra this season, Daniel Barenboim opens with Schubert's early classic, written at the age of 19. The slower-burning Bruckner was in his fifties by the time of his radiant 'Romantic' Symphony, whose shimmering strings, resplendent brass and structural transparency have contributed to the composer’s reputation as the architect of great cathedrals in sound.

Concluding our Auden centenary celebrations, tonight's Late Night Prom opens with Britten's setting of Auden's 'Anthem for St Cecilia's Day' (the patron saint of music, on whose name-day, 22 November, Britten was born). Formerly Director of Music at St Paul's and now installed at Saint Thomas, Fifth Avenue, John Scott marks the 300th anniversary of Buxtehude's death, having recently performed the composer's complete organ works in New York. Scarlatti's anniversary is also marked with the inclusion of his 10-part Stabat mater, rounding off David Hill's first Prom as the new Chief Conductor of the ever-versatile BBC Singers.
