Work: Double Concerto for violin, piano and strings in D minor

A terrific collaboration between Russian pianist Polina Leschenko and the Australian Chamber Orchestra in music by Chopin and Mendelssohn.

A shining cast and the première of a new violin concerto offered two highlights on this evening.

Joyful Haydn and intense Schoenberg from Julia Fischer and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, joined by Oliver Schnyder for some energetic Mendelssohn.
