From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Sarah Walker.
The BBC Symphony Orchestra perform two works for strings - Popcorn Superhet Receiver by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood is a gritty and exciting work inspired by the medium of radio. It won the Radio 3 Listeners' Award at the 2006 British Composer Awards. This is followed by Stravinsky's classically-poised ballet Apollo.
