Live from the Royal Albert Hall , London. One of Germany's leading chamber orchestras take to the stage with a terpsichorean programme - with the ballet music from Rameau's mythological opera Hippolyte etAricie and the Beethoven symphony described by Wagner as "the apotheosis of the dance". The versatile Russian violinist ViktoriaMullova is the soloist in Sibelius's brooding and highly virtuosic violin concerto, whose final movement has been likened to a "polonaise for polar bears".
