Valery Gergiev conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in a concert which opens with a Russian reworking of a French masterpiece as Rodion Shchedrin's ballet version of Carmen distorts Bizet's original with a vastly expanded percussion section. Shchedrin's 5th Piano Concerto is performed by Tchaikovsky Competition prize-winner Denis Matsuev and the concert ends with a French reworking of a Russian masterpiece with Mussorgsky's famous exhibition re-coloured by Ravel.
