The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra plays Bruckner’s 6th Symphony

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

Our Artist Spotlight this week shines on the brilliant and hugely versatile violinist Alina Ibragimova, a former member of the BBC New Generation Artists scheme. Today we hear her with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5, and alongside long-term musical collaborator Cédric Tiberghien in Enescu’s third violin sonata.

The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra is in focus across the week on Classical Live and today they play Bruckner’s Symphony No. 6 with Chief Conductor John Storgårds, as well as music by Bacewicz and Boulanger. Plus there’s chamber music from Edinburgh’s Queen’s Hall, with the Van Kuijk Quartet joined by guitarist Sean Shibe to play Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Guitar Quintet.
