Sarah Walker with Purcell, Mussorgsky and Whitacre

This week, Sarah Walker looks at contemporary choral music from Eric Whitacre, plus chamber works from J S Bach and Schubert. She drops in on the ballet courtesy of Leo Delibes and 'Coppelia', and presents a very unusual setting of Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition'.
