“A specially-curated classical music sequence for Radio 3's Record Review of the Century day, with tracks from some of the best classical albums of the last 25 years - ranging from peerlessly played Schubert from superstar pianist Alfred Brendel's farewell recital, to popular contemporary composer/singer Caroline Shaw's distinctive take on Scottish folk song. Plus, classical elegance and elan from violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter in a concerto by Joseph Bologne, joyous baroque from L'Arpeggiata, and Rodrigo from guitarist Milos Karadaglic.”
