Edward Gardner conducts the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and combined choirs in an all-Russian programme, including Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, recorded earlier this month at the 麻豆社 Proms.

Presented by Katie Derham at the Royal Albert Hall, London

The concert opens with Stravinsky's fizzing Scherzo fantastique, and includes his neo-classical Violin Concerto - Baiba Skride is the soloist. The 麻豆社 Symphony Chorus and Crouch End Chorus and soloists join for Rachmaninov's choral symphony, The Bells, chiming the journey from birth to death. And the concert ends with Tchaikovsky celebrating the defeat of Napoleon in spectacular style!
