Christophe Rousset and friends focus on the French Baroque solo cantata - 'the heart's outpourings', as he describes it. 'I wanted to return to the essence of French Baroque music,' he says, and the eloquent cantatas by Montéclair and Rameau reflect the intimacy of chamber-music evenings at the court of Versailles.
There's also a touching air de cour by Michel Lambert, and Couperin Le Grand's depictions of a nightingale.

Two Russian masterpieces, both of them by composers fêted for their ballets as well as their symphonies.
Daniele Gatti and his Royal Philharmonic Orchestra offer a selection from Prokofiev's amazingly original and thrilling music for Romeo and Juliet. They end with Tchaikovsky's great Fifth Symphony, in many ways as harrowing a work as the devastating Pathétique (Prom 66).
Gatti's flair for orchestral colour and emotional intensity is well-suited to this Romantic idiom.
- Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet - excerpts (48 mins)
- Interval
- Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5 (48 mins)
