The Real Group and Rajaton

Aled Jones talks to Anders Jalkeus who co-founded Sweden's Real Group 26 years ago and has seen its members reach celebrity status in their home country. Plus Finnish group Rajaton.

Forget Eurovision - if you really want to experience a sensational European singing outfit then Sweden's Real Group is the answer. Aled Jones talks to Anders Jalk脙漏us who co-founded the group 26 years ago and has seen its members reach celebrity status in their home country. Plus a view from the next generation, and the Finnish group Rajaton which has paved the way for ensembles coming in the wake of their seemingly insurpassable heroes.

Also in the programme, new Vaughan Williams interpretations from the Choir of Clare College Cambridge, and a look at how the poetry of Spaniard Federico Garc脙颅a Lorca has captured the imagination of countless choral composers.
