South Korean violinist Bomsori was making her third appearance with the orchestra, with that pinnacle of works for her instrument, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and available for 30 days on BBC Sounds, it is well worth catching up on if you weren’t there, if only to hear how her
