Three concertos from Robert Plane‘s disc Reawakened will be played in the coming week on BBC Radio 3 Afternoon Concert.
Over the next few days Fiona Talkington presents concerts and sessions from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. In the first programme which starts at 2pm today you will be able to hear Richard Walthew’s clarinet concerto, which Rob recorded with the BBCSSO and Martyn Brabbins.
You can listen to today’s ‘Afternoon Concert’ here, with the Walthew being played in the last half an hour of the programme.
