The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra perform Prokofiev's 'Romeo and Juliet'

Elizabeth Alker brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including a focus on one of the finest orchestras in the world, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Today, they perform two works: Brahms' Double Concerto for Violin and Cello in A minor with soloists Noah Bendix-Balgley and Bruno Delepelaire; and excerpts from Prokofiev's 'Romeo and Juliet'.
There is also chamber music recorded exclusively for BBC Radio 3. Sir Antonio Pappano, Chief Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, performs music by Hindemith, Schubert and Shostakovich with colleagues at LSO St Luke's.
Also featured is an inaugural recital given by organist Olivier Latry recorded at St John’s College Chapel, Cambridge. Titular Organist at Notre-Dame de Paris, Olivier is one of the leading ambassadors for the organ. Today he performs Charles-Marie Widor's Symphonie gothique (Andante sostenuto).
