Tonight's show features exclusive concert recordings as usual, with the London Sinfonietta recorded at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, and Trio Catch recorded at Witten New Music Days in Germany. We recorded the Hezarfen Ensemble (from Turkey) at Bristol New Music Festival.

Roberto Gerhard studied with Schoenberg, and fled Spain after the Civil War, to live in England, where he composed a substantial body of work, including symphonies, ballet and opera. Leo was one of his last works, written the year before he died in 1970, and it's a richly realised and colourful piece in the modernist style that he developed. He dedicated the piece to his wife, whose star sign was Leo.
