In Huw Watkins's dramatic Violin Concerto, premiered at the 2010 BBC Proms, Alina Ibragimova who gave the premiere joins forces once again with Thomas Søndergård. | ||

Joyful, brimming over with youthful vitality and infectious melody, it was inspired by the sight of Benedictine monks playing football and frescoes of angels sticking their tongues out. Hear it next to the raw power of Shostakovich's epic Eighth Symphony, inspired by the Soviet struggle during the Second World War. | ||

Brahms's majestic First Symphony commences in a mood of high tragedy and closes in a burst of irresistible life-giving energy - it's easy to see why his friends and contemporaries dubbed it ''Beethoven's Tenth''.

| St David's Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Thursday 28-Nov-13 07:30pm Rachmaninov & Prokofiev In its heart-felt lyricism and power, Rachmaninov's Second Symphony is one of his most dearly-loved works into which he poured not only all his most personal feelings, but also an inexhaustible stream of melody. It shares this Russian-themed concert with the lyrical bitter-sweet romance and cosmopolitan glamour of Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto, played by the expressive Argentinean pianist Nelson Goerner.

| St David's Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Friday 24-Jan-14 07:30pm Fauré's Requiem The BBC National Chorus of Wales performs one of the most cherished choral masterpieces: the intimate, peaceful and loving Requiem by Fauré as we welcome Thierry Fischer back to Cardiff. Its serenity contrasts strongly with the apocalyptic vision of Honegger’s Third Symphony (Symphonie liturgique) that culminates in a radiant vision of peace, and Rachmaninov’s brilliant tribute to the spirit of the demon fiddler, Paganini, promises to spring to life in the hands of acclaimed young pianist Yevgeny Sudbin.

| St David's Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Friday 7-Feb-14 07:30pm Mahler 9 with Søndergård Thomas Søndergård conducts one of the greatest of all symphonies. Aware that Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner had never lived beyond their Ninth symphonies, Mahler approached his own Ninth with trepidation. Opening with the rhythm of an irregular heartbeat from within the orchestra, Mahler's Ninth Symphony embarks on a journey of super-human intensity through to its heart-rending conclusion ninety minutes later.

| St David's Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Friday 9-May-14 07:30pm John Lill Plays Brahms Two much-loved performers, John Lill and Tadaaki Otaka, return to collaborate on one of the great romantic piano concertos. From the dark turblulence of its opening, through the moving requiem-like central movement to its finale's optimism, Brahms's First Piano Concerto is one of his most powerful works played here by one of Britain's most loved pianists in his 70th birthday year. And there is the life-giving celebratory energy of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony - its ceaseless energy made Wagner famously declare it ''the apotheosis of the dance''.

| St David's Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Friday 13-Jun-14 07:30pm Brahms's Requiem with Søndergård Thomas Søndergård closes the season with one of the world’s great choral works.
