Work: Scherzo fantastique, Op.3

The world premiere of Frncisco Coll's Cuidad sin Senũo (City That Never Sleeps) proves intriguing at the Royal Festival Hall.

Works by Mahler and Stravinsky bookend this Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra concert, but the world premiere shakes the dust off a century-old concerto by Feodor Akimenko.

Ben Gernon conducted the BBC Philharmonic in Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall in colourful Stravinsky and soulful Tchaikovsky, while Cooper encapsulated this in Mozart.
