Logo for Radio 3 Requests - Beethoven, Tavener, Wolf

Fiona Talkington introduces two remarkable arrangements - of Buxtehude and of rock band Oasis - and explores music by Tippett, Beethoven, Coleridge-Taylor and Joseph Marx. The programme also features a guest request by jazz pianist Brad Mehldau (arranger of the Oasis), and a recording of Mendelssohn's "other" violin concerto in D Minor, written in the composer's teens and rediscovered by Yehudi Menuhin in the 1950s.
