From the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Martin Handley.
The last work Alban Berg ever completed, and dedicated 'To the memory of an angel', is performed by the dazzling Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos. The programme also features an intriguing new work by young British composer Morgan Hayes, and the Beethoven Symphony famously described as the apotheosis of the dance.
