John Williams has 51 nominations to his name – but which film did he win his first Oscar for, and who is the most-nominated individual in the history of the Awards? There are several directors on the current Best Director shortlist who are nominated for their debut feature, including Jordan Peele (Get Out) and Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), but who is the most recent debut director to pick up the award, and in what year?

He’s also championing his Artist of the Week, soprano Dame Emma Kirkby, with a selection of her finest recordings. For Beyond the Hall of Fame, Rob has chosen a popular favourite by contemporary composer Ludovico Einaudi as the springboard, and will recommend a lesser-known piece for fans of I Giorni. 9pm to 10pm: TURNING POINTS The new series on Classic FM, in partnership with the Honda Jazz, explores the moments that changed classical music history, and this week we look at the superstar performers and composers such as Franz Liszt and Niccolo Paganini, who sold out venues to adoring fans.

With her own works featuring on the acclaimed album The Lost Songs of St. Kilda, and an award-winning symphonic suite for choir and orchestra titled I’ll Sing, there’s a lot of musical talent to uncover! 7pm to 9pm: DAVID MELLOR Tonight, David Mellor celebrates the extraordinary output of Hollywood’s favourite composer, John Williams. He’ll be celebrating the man both as conductor of prestigious ensembles and as composer, with selections from his iconic film scores.

She’ll feature a selection of specific works or composers which feature in some of our favourite stories – such as Pablo de Sarasate’s performance in the Sherlock Holmes tale The Red-Headed League. Catherine will also focus on authors who were keen classical music fans, such as Anthony Burgess, who wrote a piece based on the spoken rhythm of A Clockwork Orange. 3 MONDAY 26 FEBRUARY 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT: THE SIR KARL JENKINS CLASSICAL MUSIC AWARD In a few weeks’ time, some of the most promising young musicians will gather at London’s Arts Club to perform in front of members of the public and an expert panel, in the hope of becoming the winner of the next Sir Karl Jenkins Classical Music Award.

  • The “Sublime Singing” (Gramophone, 2017) of Soprano Miriam Allan
    The “sublime singing” (Gramophone, 2017) of Soprano Miriam Allan has been enjoyed across the world, from her native Australia, through Japan and Singapore, as well as at festivals throughout Europe and North America. During the 2019-20 season she will perform with David Bates’ La Nuova Musica at London’s Wigmore Hall & St John’s Smith Square, reunite with Dunedin Consort for Bach’s St Matthew Passion and sing Monteverdi Vespers and Mozart’s Mass in C Minor at Cadogan Hall. 2019 has, thus far, seen her return to Australia as artist in residence at the Newcastle Music Festival, sing Iphis (Jeptha, Handel) at Trigonale Festival, perform as Emma Kirkby’s guest during the latter’s 70th birthday recital at the Wigmore Hall, and sing Handel & Corelli motets with Les Arts Florissants prior to continuing their cycle of Gesualdo Madrigals. Of her performance as Josabeth (Athalia, Handel, Pinchgut Opera) the Sydney Morning Herald said “Miriam Allan … sang with ravishing sound, limpid elegance and precision, decorating lines with stylish ornamental arabesque.” Other recent performances have seen her debut with Sir Roger Norrington and the London Philharmonic Orchestra (2nd woman, Dido and Aeneas, Purcell) as well as Bach St Matthew Passion at Wigmore Hall with Dunedin Consort and John Butt and her debut with Portland Baroque, performing Messiah. A performance of this same work was “the vocal magic of the night…she took the audience’s breath away.” (Sydney Morning Herald, 2017) Other recent highlights have included Bach cantatas at the BBC Proms, a recital of Dowland lute songs within the enclaves of Windsor Castle and performances with the Queensland Orchestra and Erin Helyard.
