BBC Proms Chamber Music
Live from Cadogan Hall, London, presented by Sara-Mohr Pietsch.
Canadian violinist James Ehnes precedes his Proms appearance later this week, playing a more intimate chamber recital with his regular duo partner. It includes an exciting new work, plus Elgar's profound Sonata. The latter was written towards the end of the First World War at Elgar's country retreat in Suffolk - music that is both valedictory and forward-looking.

Another chance to hear last Wednesday's Proms concert celebrating the 80th birthday of Kurt Masur, which was a unique collaboration between the London Philharmonic and the National Orchestra of France - Masur is the principal conductor of both orchestras.
The combined Anglo-French forces start their concert with Tchaikovsky's lyrically flowing Serenade for Strings and end it with Bruckner's magnificent Seventh Symphony - one of the masterworks of the Austro-German symphonic repertoire of which Masur is such a renowned interpreter. Presented by Christopher Cook.

Haydn's 'The Seasons'
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Alexandra Wilson.
Sir Roger Norrington leads the historic Handel and Haydn Society in its Proms debut in a performance of Haydn's timeless representation of the passage of the seasons. Haydn moved away from the usual religious or mythical oratorio subjects in this ode to nature based on a poem by James Thomson, better known to Proms audiences for his words to Rule, Britannia!

60 Degrees North
Poet Raman Mundair reads from her latest collection of poetry, inspired by Fair Isle's landscape and elements.
In the extreme north of Scotland, half way between Orkney and Shetland, Fair Isle forms part of Shetland's archipelago and is the most isolated inhabited island within the British Isles. For centuries, Fair Isle's crofters have battled against ferocious salt laden gales and fogs to live off the island, but today their whole way of living is under threat from economic influences and climate change.
