A performance of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons performed by Julia Fischer at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales

German virtuoso Julia Fischer performs violin and piano concertos by Saint-Saens and Grieg, accompanied by the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie under the baton of Matthias Pintscher.

The exquisite harmony of Vivaldi's masteerpiece with stunning video of nature's wonderous beauty.

From the pastoral landscapes of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 to the vibrant folk scenes of Strauss' sound-poem Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche and Dvoak's Violin Concerto, this Prom takes a vivid journey across Central Europe. At the BBC Proms 2014, the world's largest classical music festival, David Zinman appeared in his final concert as chief conductor of Zurich's Tonhalle Orchestra, stepping down after almost 20 years.

Brahms’ rousing Academic Festival Overture and Violin Concerto op. 77 bear witness to a composer at the height of his abilities, a mature master of large-scale masterpieces. The Violin Concerto demands extreme technical proficiency. As if to exemplify this, violinist Julia Fischer gears herself from the very start of this emotionally searing work to maintaining a restrained yet passionate tone.

Julia Fischer sublimates Brahms's Violin Concerto alongside the Orchestre National de France, conducted by Cristian Măcelaru. An eclectic programme that also highlights works by Elsa Barraine and Claude Debussy.
