Halloween music, Scottish composers and Max Richter

Jamie shares orchestral and choral music this week by Dukas and Allegri, a new album from St Andrews Chamber Orchestra, and violinist Bomsori joins the BBC SSO for Beethoven.

Dukas's The Sorcerer's Apprentice nods towards Halloween this week, and Jamie shares Max Richter's chart-topping film score to Hamnet. 
A new album from St Andrews Chamber Orchestra features works by lesser-known Scottish-based composer Cedric Thorpe Davie, and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra performs Beethoven with award-winning Korean violinist Bomsori Kim.
