Esa-Pekka Salonen brings his gifts as a conductor of 20th century music to this live concert from the Royal Albert Hall, which includes a world premiere in the first half. Latvian-born Gidon Kremer is the soloist in Graal Theatre, a new violin concerto composed for him by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho.
In this work, Saariaho forsakes electronics for a more traditional concerto form in which the violin interacts with the orchestra. "This is certainly a difficult piece to play but Gidon is a strong artist," says Saariaho.
The concert opens with Carl Nielsen's Helios overture. In the second half, Karol Szymanowski's Stabat mater is followed by the erotic Poem of Ecstasy by Alexander Skriabin.
With the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Chorus and soloists Judith Howarth (soprano), Randi Stene (mezzo-soprano) and Jason Howard (baritone), Introduced by Michael Berkeley who in the interval, looks at new research into how and why we are moved by certain music.

A series about how we live now.
What is the weekend country cottage - a status symbol, a bolt hole, a nightmare?
As tired city dwellers set off in search of the peace and quiet of the country Modern Times ponders the joys, pains and absurdities of the weekend cottage.
Seven contrasting families describe their on-off love affairs with their rural retreats, a place to which they escape every Friday night in the hope that they will have two days of the quiet life. For some, the weekly escape is a nightmare of planning, while for teenagers the country is a place lacking in fun.
One couple found their country caravan such a relief that they didn't tell their teenage sons where it was for four years. And there's businessman Ivan, for whom the weekend means virtually a change of personality. He trades his Ferrari for a Morris Minor, changes his name to Ken and converts his dog Sasha to country pooch Colin.
A new series of Modern Times begins in the autumn
