The BBC National Orchestra of Wales bring their on-the-road concert season to a close with a programme that features two works which were written by composers for the women they loved.

Bartók’s deeply personal two-movement concerto - composed for his muse, Stefi Geyer, and here performed by world-renowned violinist James Ehnes (pictured) - has been described as a rhapsodic outpouring... 

Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, meanwhile - a token of his love for his new wife - comes complete with trumpet fanfares.
