The Philharmonia Orchestra, with conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali and pianist Seong-Jin Cho, perform music by Elgar, Chopin and Strauss at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms.

Introduced by Penny Gore. The Philharmonia Orchestra, with its Finnish Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali, visits the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms to play Richard Strauss's epic symphonic fantasy Aus Italien, along with Elgar's Italian-inspired overture In the South. International Chopin Piano Competition-winner Seong-Jin Cho joins them for Chopin's First Piano Concerto.

And there's a final trip to Brussels to hear more from the six laureates of this year's Queen Elisabeth Competition for solo voice, recorded at the competition's closing gala concert in June this year.
