Alina Ibragivoma plays Beethoven鈥檚 Violin Concerto

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances from the UK and beyond, including Beethoven鈥檚 Violin Concerto with Alina Ibragimova and Mendelssohn from the Leonkoro Quartet.

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by 蜜芽传媒 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

Our Artist Spotlight this week shines on the brilliant and hugely versatile violinist Alina Ibragimova, a former member of the 蜜芽传媒 New Generation Artists scheme. Today we hear her as the soloist in Beethoven鈥檚 Violin Concerto in a concert performance given at the Philharmonie in Berlin.

The 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic Orchestra is in focus across the week on Classical Live and today they play rarely heard music by the British composer Arthur Bliss, his Metamorphic Variations. And there鈥檚 chamber music from Edinburgh鈥檚 Queen's Hall, including Mendelssohn from the Leonkoro Quartet and Boccherini from guitarist Sean Shibe with the Van Kuijk Quartet.

Plus 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3鈥檚 25 for 25: Sounds of the Century 鈥� a series of brand new commissions celebrating and commemorating some of the biggest events of the 21st century so far. Today, Novello award winning composer Gavin Higgins commemorates the closure of the Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire, which marked the end of deep-pit coal mining in the UK, in his piece for 2015, Cort猫ge for a Coal Mine.
