Performer: Mihhail Gerts

Gerts conducts a sublime Brahms 4 while Carol McGonnell gives a lively rendition of Stanford's Clarinet Concerto in A minor. 

Mihhail Gerts and Vadym Kholodenko delight in Bartók, while the Ulster Orchestra’s playing pleases in two five-movement symphonic works. 

The Isle of the Dead and The Bells make gloomy bookends to the final concert of the season, but Mihhail Gerts makes a great case for both at the National Concert Hall. 

The Russian violinist displays her love for Brahms' writing before Mihhail Gerts and the National Symphony romp through Strauss' Sinfonia domestica. 

In a rather mixed and unconventional programme, Roderick Williams and Amarins Wierdsman provide the highlights of a programme of variable success in Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall.

A mesmerising Stravinsky Rite of Spring from Mihhail Gerts and RTÉ NSO while Irish pianist Fiachra Garvey impresses in Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini.
