Classical Collection - Wednesday - Sarah Walker

Classical Collection with Sarah Walker: this week great performances from British musicians and orchestras; classic recordings from the Lindsay String Quartet. Today, Sarah tours the towns of the industrial North including Manchester, home of the BBC Philharmonic and Leeds, home of the international piano competition. She also discovers one of Ireland's great musical heroes, Hamilton Harty, an early conductor of the Halle Orchestra.
