Nicola Benedetti and Friends play Brahms's First Piano Trio.

Petroc Trelawny presents the Benedetti Elschenbroich Grynyuk Trio performing pieces by Arlene Sierra and Brahms, from London's Cadogan Hall in a concert from the 2015 Proms. When not performing as a soloist, violinist Nicola Benedetti appears frequently as a chamber musician - most often with the trio she co-founded with pianist Alexei Grynyuk and cellist Leonard Elschenbroich. Here the three musicians pair Brahms's first and stormiest piano trio - its darkness belying the work's major key - with music by American-born composer Arlene Sierra. Inspired by the migration patterns of butterflies, her Butterflies Remember a Mountain is a work of pointillist detail and shimmering harmonies, painted in a sequence of delicate textural gestures. Brahms: Piano Trio No 1 in B, Op 8. Arlene Sierra: Butterflies Remember a Mountain. Benedetti Elschenbroich Grynyuk Trio.

Stile Antico and Fretwork celebrate a Shakespearean Anniversary.

In 2020, BBC Radio 3 is bringing together musical greats from the past and the present in one extraordinary Proms season. Radio 3 is broadcasting the best of four decades of unmissable Proms concerts. Today's concert, introduced by Petroc Trelawny, comes from 2016, when vocal ensemble Stile Antico and viol consort Fretwork combined to celebrate the 400th anniversary year of the death of England's great bard, William Shakespeare. Their programme contrasts music by Shakespeare's contemporaries with new settings from Nico Muhly and Composer in Association with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Huw Watkins. In the words of Shakespeare himself, `How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music creep in our ears." Morley: It was a lover and his lass. Byrd: O Lord, make thy servant. Elizabeth Byrd: Why do I use my paper, ink and pen? Huw Watkins: The Phoenix and the Turtle. Byrd: Fantasia a 5, Two parts in one in the fourth above. Tomkins: Be strong and of a good courage. Ramsey: Sleep, fleshly birth. Byrd: Browning a 5, The leaves be green. Johnson: Full fathom five. Nico Muhly: Gentle sleep. Gibbons: In nomine No 1. Wilbye: Draw on, sweet night. Fretwork Stile Antico (From the BBC Proms, 15 August 2016).
