Performer: London Philharmonic Orchestra

Strong singing and a punchy orchestral performance makes this latest revival of Donizetti's cheering village rom-com a hit.

After a rare treat to hear Tippett's commemoration of King Charles' birth and Alina Ibragimova's Mendelssohn, the crowning achievement of this concert is Edward Gardner's majestic reading of Janáček's Glagolitic Mass.

Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski returns to the London Philharmonic Orchestra, bringing with him some rare jewels such as Paul Hindemith's Violin Concerto. 

Conducting the LPO, Dima Slobodeniouk plumbs the depths of Sibelius' Second Symphony, while Beatrice Rana reveals the bewitchment at the heart of Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto.

Boreyko and the LPO shine in Victoria Vita Polevá's tribute to Ukraine and Elena Langer setting of Edward Lear, and give a dazzling performance of Shostakovich 5.

Hands up if you want lush Russian romanticism, delivered in impeccable style by the LPO and Edward Gardner. Leif Ove Andsnes offers welcome freshness in Grieg.
