Counter-tenor Iestyn Davies joins the early music collective Jupiter Ensemble to perform oratorio arias and elegant instrumental music of Handel. Presented by Jamie MacDougall. Handel: Eternal source of light divine from Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne; The raptur'd soul from Theodora; Yet, can I hear that dulcet lay from The Choice of Hercules; Dances from Terpsicore; O sacred oracles of truth from Belshazzar; But hark ! The heavenly sphere turns round & Despair no more shall wound me from Semele; Sarabande from Suite No 4 in D minor, HWV 437; On the valleys, dark and cheerless from The Triumph of Time and Truth; Oh Lord, whose mercies numberless from Saul..

Yuja Wang, the Oslo Philharmonic and conductor Klaus Makela at the Edinburgh Festival.
Two jazz-influenced works open tonight's concert with the international piano virtuoso Yuja Wang, the Oslo Philharmonic and trailblazing young conductor Klaus Makela. Ravel heard jazz during a concert tour of America in the late 1920s and he used some of those sounds and sensibilities in his G major and D major piano concertos, working on them both simultaneously. He had in mind the concerto in G for himself and the one in D (for the left hand) for the Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein. For this Ravel created in his own words a 'solemn kind of traditional concerto', challenging himself to write a 'texture no thinner than that of a part written for both hands'. After the interval, Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, written at the height of the Stalin regime in Russia when the composer was under intense scrutiny - a work that remains enigmatic to this day. Ravel: Piano Concerto in D major (for the left hand). Ravel: Piano Concerto in G. 20.15 Interval - a selection of jazz-inspired music by Shostakovich. 20.35 Shostakovich: Symphony No.5 in D minor, Op. 47. Yuja Wang (piano), Oslo Philharmonic, Klaus Makela (conductor). Recorded on August 22 at Edinburgh's Usher Hall. Presented by Donald Macleod.
