Music from the Berlin Philharmonic and from 2010's Lucerne Festival. Stravinsky: Apollon Musagete. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 6. Berg: Violin Concerto. Mahler: Symphony No 4.

At last year's Lucerne Festival there was a great meeting of musical minds - when the youthful Simon Bolivar Orchestra from Venezuela gave a concert under the baton of the great Claudio Abbado.
