Summer Night Concert from Vienna S2015E01 - 2015

There's a definite Nordic theme to this year's Summer Night Concert from the stunning Schonbrunn Palace Gardens in Vienna, where Zubin Mehta takes up the baton to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert features music from two 150th anniversary composers - Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius. Other pieces include two much-loved works from Edvard Grieg - the Piano Concerto in A minor, featuring Austrian soloist Rudolf Buchbinder, and the Peer Gynt Suite No 1 culminating in the exhilarating Hall of the Mountain King. Plus, of course, the obligatory chance to waltz during the finale with Johann Strauss Junior's Wiener Blut.
