Plus, we discuss the new virtual festival of the arts 'Culture in Quarantine' on BBC Arts.\nAlso this month, we discuss the fabulous virtuosity of violinist and conductor Maxim Vengerov as he marks 40 years on stage, and Ravi Shankar, whose centenary we are celebrating in our May issue.\nAs usual, we've each brought along a recording we've been enjoying, from an orchestral work inspired by the Canary Islands to a choral piece based on an Estonian folk hymn.\n\nTHE MAGAZINE\nMaxim Vengerov\nRavel: Violin Sonata\nMaxim Vengerov, Roustem Sa\xeftkoulov at Carnegie Hall in 2018 (available on Idagio)\n\nCover CD:\nBruckner: Symphony No. 8\nBBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra/Donald Runnicles\nFIRST LISTEN\nFreya's choice:\nChigaday (La Gomera) - for Orchestra\nGustavo D\xedaz-Jerez: Maghek \u2013 Seven Symphonic Poems About The Canary Islands\nRoyal Scottish National Orchestra/Eduardo Portal\nSignum Classics SIGCD612\nOliver's choice:\nWhilst greater is our poverty, still greater is our blessing\nKreek: The Suspended Harp of Babel\nVox Clamantis\nECM 4819041\nJeremy's choice:\nMathias: Harp Sonata, Second Movement: Allegro Vivo\nA Vision of Time and Eternity\nMichelle Gott (harp)\nNaxos 8.574053\nThis podcast was presented by BBC Music Magazine\u2019s editor Oliver Condy, with deputy editor Jeremy Pound and editorial assistant Freya Parr.
