He's joined by historian and Radio 3 New Generation Thinker Dr Daisy Hay, author of 'Young Romantics: The Shelleys, Byron and Other Tangled Lives'. The presenter is Matthew Sweet. Alisa Weilerstein (cello) BBC Symphony Orchestra Joshua Weilerstein (conductor) Visions of chaos give way to a diabolical scene in a musical thrill-ride that takes us from creation itself to the wild dances of a Witches' Sabbath. Jean-Féry Rebel's suite The Elements is one of Baroque music's most unusual works, opening with a vivid portrait of Chaos. The same audacity surfaces a century later in Berlioz's quasi-autobiographical Symphonie fantastique, whose large orchestral forces and colourful textures make it a perfect fit for the Royal Albert Hall. Star cellist Alisa Weilerstein is soloist for the UK premiere of Pascal Dusapin's nature-inspired concerto Outscape - a work written for her - while her brother, rising young star Joshua Weilerstein, conducts.
