Chi-chi Nwanoku introduces a selection of Radio 3 listeners' requests, including The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba - in Galway. Also, a recently discovered wind octet by 18th-century composer Josef Myslivecek, a poignant performance of Richard Stoker's Kristallnacht Monody Op 76, the Gran Duo Concertante for violin, double bass and orchestra by Bottesini, and Schubert's lyrical Fifth Symphony.
The guest requster, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, explains her love of choral music and chooses her own favourite - the Vespers from Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil, Op 37.
