First broadcast: on BBC Persian TVLatest broadcast: on BBC Persian TV

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and their conductor laureate Tadaaki Otaka perform perhaps the most famous classical symphony ever written, with its foreboding opening motif, Beethoven’s Fifth.

In a concert of lush romantic music that takes us from Europe to the USA, and from Vienna to Croydon, star violinist Elena Urioste joins the orchestra to perform Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s sumptuous Violin Concerto – a piece that brims with songfulness.

And Rachmaninov's Five Études-tableaux receives its first ever Proms outing in gorgeous orchestration by Respighi.
