Work: Slavonic Dance no. 15 in C major, Op.72 no.7

Winding up his inaugural tour with the BRSO, new Chief Conductor Sir Simon Rattle delivered a superbly performed program of Wagner, Adès and Beethoven. 

The Bamberg Symphony returns to its roots with Jakub Hrůša conducting high-energy gems from the Czech repertoire.

Russian repertoire is second nature to Mariss Jansons and this programme at the Barbican with his Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was easily the finest music-making I’d heard all year.
