Linton Stephens showcases the best performances in specially made recordings of orchestras, choirs, ensembles from Europe and around the globe. We end our week spent in the company of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra with a pair of much-loved orchestral works. Augustin Hadelich is the soloist in Mendelssohn’s joyful Violin Concerto, and Berlioz’s groundbreaking Symphonie Fantastique shows off the orchestra at its most vivid. Plus we hear the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Stravinsky’s Firebird suite. And we take leave of the picturesque coastline of Fife and this summer’s East Neuk Festival with another chamber highlight from the event, the Belcea Quartet playing Mozart’s ‘Hoffmeister’ string quartet. 1pm Felix Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 Augustin Hadelich (violin) Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra Sebastian Weigle (conductor) Ervin T.
