'Flawless.' 'Stunnning.' 'An absolute tour de force.' Under founder-conductor Nicholas Collon, the Aurora Orchestra's recent Proms performances from memory have knocked the critics sideways – and the partnerships gets ever more visceral, insightful and daring. Tonight they toast the anniversary of Iannis Xenakis and explore Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto with Patricia Kopatchinskaja – one of the rare soloists whose brilliance, intuition and uninhibited theatricality can match their own. After the interval, Radio 3 presenter Tom Service lifts the bonnet on Beethoven's Fifth Symphony: stripping genius back to basics before handing over to Collon and Aurora for a full performance, from memory. Sonic rewilding, from the ultimate orchestral adventurers.
