Mozart's final violin concerto

Violinist Esther Yoo plays Mozart, plus chamber music for piano, clarinet and viola from the New Ross Piano Festival.

Linton Stephens presents an afternoon of compelling performances. His conductor focus this week brings us to the Bulgarian born Delyana Lazarova, the principal guest conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, who teams up with the violinist Esther Yoo for Mozart's evergreen 5th Violin Concerto. Also today, more from conductor Elena Schwarz, who made her Proms debut this summer to great reviews. She conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in Ravel's exotic orchestral song-cycle Shéhérazade with Radio 3 New Generation Artist Erika Baikoff. And Dalia Stasevska joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra for contemplative music by Peteris Vasks.

From Ireland, pianists Markus Groh and Anna Fedorova join Rachel Roberts and Robert Plane for more chamber music highlights from the New Ross Piano Festival, including music by Bruch and Schumann.
