Tom McKinney presents more from this week’s featured orchestra – the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and a concert recorded in Munich last November with conductor Lahav Shani. This was an all-Bartók programme, including his Hungarian Pictures and his tour-de-force Concerto for Orchestra, composed following his emigration to the USA in 1940. Violinist Renaud Capuçon joins the orchestra to play Bartók’s Violin Concerto No.2 – written for Zoltán Székely in 1938.

The programme continues with a short overture by Schubert, from another concert in Munich, this time under Riccardo Muti.

And to end today's Afternoon Concert, two highlights from a concert recorded in Munich last October with conductor Daniele Gatti. They begin with a wonderfully atmospheric piece for string orchestra by Henri Dutilleux - Le mystère de l’instant, and end with Shostakovich's mighty Symphony No.5
