In a programme bookended by two evergreen Classical symphonies, the BBC Philharmonic and Principal Guest Conductor Ben Gernon are also joined by Leonard Elschenbroich for Saint-Saëns's arresting First Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky's deeply-felt Andante cantabile, which left Tolstoy in floods of tears when he first heard it.
