on BBC Two England

The BBC Symphony Orchestra's chief conductor, Leonard Slatkin , lifts his baton in London's Royal Albert Hall to conduct a programme selected entirely from the rich repertoire of Russian orchestral music. Highlights include Sergei Prokofiev 's score for the ballet Romeo and Juliet, the dawn prelude to Musorgsky's epic opera Khovanshchina, and Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No 1, with exciting young German soloist Christian Tetzlaff.
Introduced by Charles Hazlewood who, in the interval, is joined by special guests, including tonight's soloist Christian Tetzlaff and Shostakovich expert Elizabeth Wilson. The concert is also broadcast on Radio 3.
