Rarely has the sun risen so breathtakingly beautifully as in Strauss’s Alpine Symphony. ‘From the depths of the orchestra there rises a murmur,’ wrote the New York Times, ‘daylight gathers in the brass, and then – WHAM! – the sun appears and sets the whole orchestra ablaze.’ Ablaze is also the best word for the violin playing of Patricia Kopatchinskaja. Prepare yourself for a searing Prokofiev.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja has been called the wild child of the violin, which is true but also a little demeaning because there is astonishing artistry to complement her creativity.
