A spotlight on Romanticism with three beautifully contrasting pieces: Liszt in fine form, late Mendelssohn and ‘Great’ Schubert. Franz Liszt’s Les préludes is like a mini symphony: small in scale, but huge in emotional power, bringing to life themes of love and the natural world. Felix Mendelssohn’s last concerto is perhaps his most famous. The violin takes charge from the second bar with the first of many glorious themes.

Schubert pours his orchestral experience and melodic genius into his last completed symphony (the ‘Great’) – a suitably grand final word.
