Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra brought a fresh approach to Mahler's Fourth Symphony and the harp took centre stage for a change with a concerto première.
Simone Lamsma returned to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra to perform Dvořák's Violin Concerto, a highly lyrical and rich work. Also in the programme was Sibelius's triumphant and dramatic Fifth Symphony.
