BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - November 2012 Concert 2: Nicola Benedetti Plays Szymanowski archive

Three stories from Eastern Europe: three extraordinary musical visions. Modest Mussorgsky drew his inspiration from the ancient folklore of Pagan Russia - but the results sounded thrillingly raw and new. Szymanowski went further in his Violin Concerto No.1: lyrical, rapturous and aglow with colour, this is the work with which Nicola Benedetti won BBC Young Musician of the Year. Andrew Litton makes a welcome return to Aberdeen with the BBC SSO, and reminds us of another turning point in Eastern European history: Prokofiev's "symphony of the greatness of the human spirit", premiered in wartime Moscow to the sound of gunfire. Unmissable.
