Viktoria Mullova live from Wigmore Hall in London

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including a live recital from violinist Viktoria Mullova and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic in concert.

Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

We begin the programme with a live recital from London’s Wigmore Hall by one of the world's greatest violinists, Viktoria Mullova, who is joined by pianist Alasdair Beatson to explore the music of Schubert and Beethoven.

Elsewhere, Elizabeth begins a week-long celebration of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ performing groups. Today it's the turn of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic, who bring us music by Sibelius and team up with soloist Christian Tetzlaff for one of Edward Elgar's finest works - his Violin Concerto.

Elizabeth also has a spotlight on Swiss flautist Emmanuel Pahud, and pianist Vadym Kholodenko plays Liszt in a highlight from the Belfast Music Society International Festival of Chamber Music.
