Anne-Marie Minhall's series of Great British performers continues with artists including Julian Lloyd Webber and the pianist Howard Shelley.

For her fourth concert showcasing Great British Composers, Anne-Marie Minhall's series of Great British performers continues with artists including Julian Lloyd Webber and the pianist Howard Shelley. opens with one of the great authentic music ensembles to come out of Britain - the Cambridge-based Academy of Ancient Music. They play Telemann's Concerto in E major for oboe, flute and viola.

The brilliant pianist and conductor Howard Shelley has done much to champion forgotten works by lesser-known composers. Tonight he performs Hummel's fourth Piano Concerto with the London Mozart Players. 

Julian Lloyd-Webber has enjoyed a long career as a cellist, playing a wide-ranging repertoire from Bach and Haydn through to works by his brother Andrew. We hear him playing Glazunov's Melodie with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by James Judd. 

The Sixteen are one of Britain's finest vocal ensembles who have flourished under the direction of their founder Harry Christophers. Tonight they perform Handel's 'Eternal Source of light divine' with the soprano Elin Manahan-Thomas.
