As part of Wigmore Hall's 125th Anniversary Festival the outstanding German pianist Igor Levit performs music by Ravel, Shostakovich and Liszt - Liszt's epic 'Dante Sonata' - live. Also, we’re into our second week in which we profile the work of ten of today's outstanding conductors, featuring their work in exclusive recent concert recordings. Today the focus is on the Estonian-American maestro Paavo Järvi, and we’ll hear him with two great German orchestras: the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra performing Mozart and with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra performing Tchaikovsky.
