    Karl Jenkins at Classic FM Live 2012

    You might know of Karl Jenkins, composer, but he's also a brilliant conductor. We were treated to his conducting talents at Classic FM Live, where he performed 'Benedictus' from 'The Armed Man' on stage at the Royal Albert Hall.

      Sitting in the Nissan Note car seats, Karl said he couldn't tell which pieces would be universally loved when he wrote them. He said: "I didn't think they'd connect with people as much as they have." Picture: Richard Johnson

      Every eye is on Karl, from the audience and from the orchestra, as he conducts the spine-tingling music. It was composed as part of his 'anti-war' mass, 'The Armed Man', which combines text from the Catholic liturgy and a French folk song, 'L'homme armé'. Picture: Richard Johnson

      'Benedictus' is a firm favourite among Classic FM listeners, so it was a perfect choice on our 20th birthday Classic FM Live concert programme. In 2008 'The Armed Man' was listed as No. 1 in Classic FM's "Top 10 by living composers" list. Picture: Matt Crossick/PA
