Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto from Stuttgart

Further highlights from the Hay-on-Wye festival, plus concertos for wind instruments, today the turn of the oboe, and a rare chance to hear Emilie Mayer's amazing first symphony.

Linton Stephens introduces further highlights from the recent Hay-on-Wye festival including a fiendishly difficult piano transcription of Wagner's Tannhauser Overture performed by the British pianist Alexander Ullman. Also today, more in our sequence of recordings from across Europe of concertos for wind instruments; the oboe is the featured instrument today in concertos by Bach and Strauss. Plus a rare chance to hear the 19th century German Romantic composer, Emilie Mayer's amazing first symphony performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and Robin Wallington
