Wednesday - Sean Rafferty

Sean Rafferty's guests include conductor Josep Pons and members of the cast of Ravel's L'heure espagnol, at the Barbican in London. Plus the A to Z of the Piano: P for page turner.

Sean Rafferty's guests include conductor Josep Pons and members of the cast of the performance of Ravel's dazzling comedy L'Heure Espagnol, which they will give with the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican in London this week.

Also today, In Tune's A to Z of the Piano, part of the Piano Season on the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ, continues with P for Page Turner - exploring this unsung but crucial - and often nerve-wracking - role of the piano world. The series of bite-sized features includes contributions from many of the world's greatest pianists, and provides context, history and background information - both in-depth and quirky - broadcast in daily instalments on In Tune at 5.30pm and available to download as a podcast.

Main headlines are at 5pm and 6pm.
