1. Gewandhaus Orchester Leipzig - Allegro Con Brio (Part) Symphony No. 5 (03:13)
   A passionate opening track, as Kurt Masur conducts the famous WW II "London calling" symphony. In the 40's, the falling cadence of "da, de, de, dum" became an indefatigable symbol of defiance on wireless sets throughout the threatened free world, and Masu
2. Caroline Dale - LMO / Allegro non molto: Such Sweet Thunder Concerto in G minor (03:32)
   English cello virtuoso Caroline Dale dazzles with Vivaldi from her just-released "Such Sweet Thunder" album.\nThe late Jaqueline du Pre was one of award-winning Caroline's greatest admirers but so then are her pop contemporaries Oasis, George Michael, and
3. Maxim Genderov - Csardas Monti (06:07)
   Child prodigy Vengerov started fiddling at the age of four and today is acknowledged as one of the greats.\nHere he has fun making his violin chirrup like a blackbird, then sob and emote as if with a life all of it's own.
4. Collegium Musicum 90 - Sanctus Mass in D Major op 111 (02:22)
   Polish born Hummel was a pupil of Mozart and a friend of Beethoven.\nCollegium Musicum 90 performs Sanctus by a composer world-famous in the 19th century but now just a name.
5. Berliner Philharmoniker Orchester - Adiagietto Symphony No. 5 (09:29)
   Sir Simon Rattle, this year's Classical Brits winner of Male Artist of the Year and Orchestral Album of the Year, conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra playing Mahler. He takes over as lead conductor later this year.
6. Murray Parahia - Etudes No 3 in E Major (03:52)
   New Yorker Perahia is best known in the UK for his association with the Aldeburgh Music Festivals and his prodigious recording output. Chopin is his favourite composer.
7. Dominic Miller - Mass in B Minor (04:02)
   Argentinian guitarist Miller adapts Bach to his guitar. As well as his popular classical career, Miller has collaborated for 14 years with Sting (Gordon Sumner of the 'Police'), in addition to working with Nigel Kennedy, Phil Collins (ex Genesis drummer)
8. Bond - Viva (03:16)
   Having their first album "Born", banned by the UK Classical Charts did string quartet no harm at all. Eos, Gay-Yee, Haylie, and Tania now have a world-wide following.
9. Chloe Hanslip - LSO / Finale: Allegro enrgico Violin Concerto No 1 (06:55)
   Child star Chloe Hanslip wins this year's Young British Classical Performer with an excerpt from her current album. Bruch's concerto is currently No 2 in the classical hit parade
10. I Solisti Veneti - Claudio Scimone / Adagio in G Minor for Organ & Strings (08:15)
    This is the longest track on this album at more than 8 minutes long but, as Albioni's melody is one of the world's favourites, that is exactly how it should be.
11. Luciano Pavarotti - E lucevan le stelle - Tosca (03:12)
    Pavarotti is in glorious voice as he sings the sublime "The Stars Were Shining" - Cavaradossi's farewell to his lover, Tosca. As in opera, it all ends in tears.
12. Emily Gray - Bist du bei mir (02:12)
    16 year old Emily Gray, BBC Choirgirl of the Year 2000, sings a sacred song dedicated to the composer's second wife. Her plangent soprano with organ accompaniment is a slice of perfection.
13. London Mozart Players - Howard Shelley / Rondo, Vivo Piano Concerto No. 7 Op.56 (06:46)
    Shelley conducts the LMP in a little-known composer's music, which sounds very 'Mozartian'.
14. Jennifer Partridge - Plaisir d'Amour (03:34)
    Soprano Jennifer Partridge, accompanied on the piano by Beryl Kormann, sings a delicate French love song, an appropriately soothing preparation for the following track.
15. Maksim - Piano Concerto in A Minor (04:04)
    This is just the sort of treatment of a universal favourite to enrage the purists and delight the kids.\nIt's a radical makeover with a thudding disco beat, and the piano-playing runs to colourful computerised harmonies that composer Edvard Grieg could ne
