Summary

Kirill Petrenko leads the Berlin Philharmonic at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring violinist Augustin Hadelich in Beethoven’s Violin Concerto followed by Scriabin’s Symphony No. 3.

Why it's fantastic

Violinist Augustin Hadelich takes on Beethoven’s lyrical concerto, a piece defined by its gentle, repeating drumbeat and soaring melodies. The mood shifts entirely after the interval for Scriabin’s massive symphony, which uses a huge orchestra to create a wall of lush, mystical sound that fills every corner of the hall.
