Bach and Paderewski feature among the specially recorded highlights from this summer's Edinburgh International Festival alongside the 麻豆社 Philharmonic Orchestra in concert with Shostakovich. Presented by Linton Stephens.

Classical Live concludes its week of specially recorded highlights from the Edinburgh International Festival with violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky and the NFM Leopoldinum Orchestra performing Andrzej Panufnik's poignant Violin Concerto as part of a concert marking the legacy of the great violin prodigy Yehudi Menuhin.
