Today you can hear the BBC SSO in concert south of the border in Leeds with their Chief Conductor Donald Runnicles: symphonic works by Brahms and Debussy, and Steven Isserlis playing Saint-Saens's ever-popular First Cello Concerto. Plus Chopin played by one of Radio 3's current New Generation Artists, the remarkable young pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, who enjoys a special relationship in Scotland with a residency at the Perth Concert Hall. And the afternoon ends with the BBC SSO and conductor Stefan Solyom playing the cheerful Eighth Symphony by Brahms's friend Dvorak.
