BBC Four - Summer Night Concert from Vienna, 2015

With music by Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius, plus two much-loved works from Edvard Grieg.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, under conductor Zubin Mehta, performs music from Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius, plus two much-loved works from Edvard Grieg.

There's a definite Nordic theme to this year's Summer Night Concert from the stunning Schonbrunn Palace Gardens in Vienna, where Zubin Mehta takes up the baton to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert features music from two 150th anniversary composers - Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius. Other pieces include two much-loved works from Edvard Grieg - the Piano Concerto in A minor, featuring Austrian soloist Rudolf Buchbinder, and the Peer Gynt Suite No 1 culminating in the exhilarating Hall of the Mountain King. Plus, of course, the obligatory chance to waltz during the finale with Johann Strauss Junior's Wiener Blut.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.

Spectacular summer-night concerts from the grounds of the Schoenbrunn Palace in Vienna.
