Classic FM Live in Cardiff 2014: behind the scenes

1. Wales Millennium Centre

Creu Gwir fel gwydr o ffwrnais awen, translated as: "Creating truth like glass from the furnace of inspiration". The English version of this stunning inscription on the Wales Millennium Centre is "In these stones horizons sing".

2. Taking over the foyer

We're taking over the entire Wales Millennium Centre with an afternoon of rehearsals - and John Suchet broadcasting from the Red Dragon Centre across the road.

7. Impromptu performance?

Nothing to see here. Just a Steinway casually waiting in the foyer. Perhaps we'll be treated to a special performance a little later?

8. Cardiff Bay

Stormy clouds, but stunning sunshine in Cardiff Bay throughout the afternoon.

9. Karl Jenkins rehearses in the Wales Millennium Centre

Karl Jenkins conducts as the strains of Palladio fill the auditorium. Sounding great!

A spot of Wagner as the WNO Orchestra take to the stage.
