| Performance Notes | Is there a better-known or better-loved violin concerto than Mendelssohns? Following her two solo Late Night Proms, and Proms Saturday Matinee appearance with Apollos Fire, violinist Alina Ibragimova returns to perform this inventive and charming work, with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. They bring with them music by the young Norwegian Ørjan Matre and a new work by Russian-British composer Alissa Firsova inspired by Norse mythology. This seasons series of three Stravinsky ballets written for the Ballets Russes reaches its conclusion with The Rite of Spring, as ferocious and exhilarating a musical assualt now as it was at its notorious Paris premiere over a century ago.
Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
