Today's Classical Live includes another chance to hear last night's Prom from the Royal Albert Hall in which the Philharmonia Chorus, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Vasily Petrenko joined forces to present a programme that takes us from the New World to the nether regions of the medieval world.

Tchaikovsky was no stranger to unhappiness in love, and his symphonic fantasy overture Francesca da Rimini allows us to eavesdrop on his pain in heart-rending autobiographical detail as the composer retells Dante鈥檚 tale of a noblewoman鈥檚 infidelity and subsequent casting into Hell. For their Prom, Vasily Petrenko and his Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plunge us deep into Tchaikovsky鈥檚 signature emotional turmoil after moonlit Debussy, Charles Ives鈥檚 own foray into American Impressionism and Ravel鈥檚 enthralling, jazz-inspired Piano Concerto under the fingers of the ferociously talented pianist Denis Kozhukhin.

Also in today鈥檚 programme, the Leonore Piano Trio at the Cheltenham Festival. Presented by Elizabeth Alker.
