Performer: Patricia Kopatchinskaja

Ludovic Morlot helms an exhilarating, literally stunning, evening of music by Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Britten and Shostakovich.

The Moldovan-Austrian-Swiss violinist brings boundless energy to Stravinsky, while the CBSO excels in the slower passages of Tchaikovsky.

A dramatic reading of Stravinsky's Violin Concerto, with soloist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, rounded out a programme that also included a Carlijn Metselaar world premiere and a life-affirming performance of Rachmaninov's Second Symphony.

Iván Fischer conducts a mini Stravinsky residency at London's Southbank Centre, featuring six works that encompass a number of the chameleon composer's styles. 

A bracing programme of contemporary music from the Filarmonica Moldova Iaşi at the Enescu Festival. 

The Edinburgh rain was the third performer in this concert, and unfortunately detracted from the two on the billing.
