Elsewhere Andrew Green uncovers the story behind the British National Anthem, David Threasher explores works that were left incomplete by their composers and Tom Stewart speaks to members of Mancunian contemporary music group Psappha as it celebrates its 30th anniversary.

This month’s BBC Music Magazine Interview is with the Pavel Haas Quartet, which marks its 20th anniversary this year. We pick out the best recordings of Brahms‘s Third Symphony, and Erich Korngold is our Composer of the Month.
