Chi-chi Nwanoku

Chi-chi Nwanoku presents listeners' requests, including music by Sibelius, Vaughan Williams, Brahms and Bach. Plus a request from her guest - harpist Catrin Finch.

Chi-chi Nwanoku presents a selection of Radio 3 listeners' requests, including music from Sibelius' Lemminkainen Legends, Vaughan Williams' Preludes on Welsh hymn tunes, Brahms' Trio for piano, violin and horn, and a taste of harpist Catrin Finch's arrangement of Bach's Goldberg Variations.

And Catrin chooses a favourite of her own - Shostakovich's Piano concerto No 2.
