Edward Gardner conducts the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra and combined choirs, live at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms, in an all-Russian programme including Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

The concert opens with Stravinsky's fizzing Scherzo fantastique, and includes his neo-classical Violin Concerto - Baiba Skride is the soloist. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Chorus and Crouch End Chorus and soloists join for Rachmaninov's choral symphony The Bells, chiming the journey from birth to death. And the concert ends with Tchaikovsky celebrating the defeat of Napoleon in spectacular style!
