We begin the programme with a live concert from London’s Wigmore Hall. Violinist Anthony Marwood and accordion player James Crabb give the English premiere of Thomas Adès’s äԳäԳ alongside Crabb’s own arrangement of The Lark Ascending, which enhances the mystical beauty of Vaughan Williams’s original. These are flanked by intoxicating dances by Astor Piazzolla, and two fiery Gaelic reels.

Elsewhere we have music from the ѿý Philharmonic Orchestra, who bring us a feast of Romantic repertoire with Wagner’s Flying Dutchman Overture, and Beethoven’s passionate Eroica Symphony with conductor Clemens Schuldt.
