Yuja Wang at the Edinburgh International Festival.
Kate Molleson presents a recital from the Usher Hall at the Edinburgh International Festival by world-renowned piano virtuoso Yuja Wang.

Before the interval there is Barber's Piano Sonata, another piece inspired by Bach, and to close Wang plays Chopin's four ballades, works that defined a Romantic piano genre. Shostakovich: Prelude and Fugue Op 87 No 2; Prelude Op 34 No 12; Prelude Op 34 No 10; Prelude Op 87 No 8; Prelude Op 34 No 24; Prelude Op 34 No 5; Prelude Op 34 No 16; Prelude and Fugue Op 87 No 15.

Sakari Oramo conducts Mahler.
Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's tragic Sixth Symphony, a work for vast orchestral forces and famed for the hammer blows of fate in the final movement. Live at the Barbican. Presented by Martin Handley. Mahler: Symphony No.6 in A minor. BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sakari Oramo (conductor). Art imitates life - it isn't meant to happen the other way round. Mahler's Sixth Symphony imagines a hero destroyed by three devastating blows of fate. But after he'd filled every bar of this immense symphony with his most heartfelt feelings, that's exactly what happened to Mahler himself. Dark, tempestuous and filled with yearning visions of hope, it's a musical experience that leaves few listeners unmoved. The Sixth Symphony is a mighty challenge for any conductor and orchestra, and this should be a landmark in Sakari Oramo's ongoing journey through the Mahler symphonies with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Kirill Gerstein has both, and when he recorded this concerto with Sakari Oramo, Gramophone described the results as 'sublime'.

BBC NOW Perform Petrushka.
The BBC National Orchestra of Wales are joined by conductor Antony Hermus to perform three works from the beginning of the 20th Century. Janacek composed his opera The Cunning Little Vixen in the roaring 20s, and this suite distills the music, telling of a gamekeeper trying to domesticate a young fox. Martinu's first Cello Concerto was originally written only a few years later, but went through several revisions and was not actually finished until the 1950s. The music is wonderfully eclectic, and a particular favourite of tonight's soloist, Laura van der Heijden. After the interval, the programme concludes with Stravinsky's masterful ballet, Petrushka. Following the notorious love triangle of three puppets, the ballet is considered one of the greatest ballets of all time. Presented by Verity Sharp and recorded on the 11th of January in Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff. Janacek; Mackerras (arranger): The Cunning Little Vixen Suite. Martinu: Cello Concerto No 1, H 196.
