The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra led by Vasily Petrenko, play at the Alte Oper opening with with Mussorgsky’s Night on the Bare Mountain, where the composer battles his demons in ways that are spine-tingling. Next, Sibelius’ Violin Concerto brings the fire and ice of windswept landscapes, demanding both virtuosity and emotion from the soloist.
