<desc>Martin Handley presents a concert given at London's Wigmore Hall by the Emerson Quartet with cellist Ralph Kirshbaum, featuring chamber works both written at the end of their composers' lives. Shostakovich's final string quartet was written in 1974 and is a meditation on his own mortality, complete with funeral march. Schubert's Quintet in C was written two months before his untimely death at the age of 31, and is unusual in using two cellos instead of two violas.</desc>

<subtitle>David Sanchez recorded at the London Jazz Festival</subtitle>
<desc>Jez Nelson presents a concert given by Puerto Rican saxophonist David Sanchez at the Pizza Express jazz club as part of this year's London Jazz Festival, featuring material from his new album Cultural Survival. By incorporating the approach of heavy-toned saxophonists like John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, and the Latin and Afro-Caribbean influences of his homeland, Sanchez has developed a fierce but lyrical style that has gained admiration worldwide.</desc>
