Performer: Elena Schwarz

Haydn holds his own between Stravinsky and Shostakovich, thanks to an impassioned performance by Li-Wei Qin with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. 

Elena Schwarz conducts the NSO in a rousing rendition of Dvořák's famous Seventh Symphony, while cellist Leonard Elschenbroich offers punchy Khachaturian.

Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall swells to the music of Stravinsky, Brahms and Beethoven as the BBC Philharmonic explores different perspectives on Classical forms.
