Classic FM Live with Viking returned to the Royal Albert Hall for another epic night of live classical music.
The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Classic FM’s Orchestra in North West England, raised the roof with a series of hits from the Classic FM Hall of Fame.
The orchestra was joined by star soloists Arsha Kaviani, Luka Faulisi, Miloš Karadaglić, and Lucy from The Piano, all united under the baton of conductor Jamie Phillips, for favourites from the Top 300.
The concert was hosted by Classic FM presenters Alexander Armstrong and Myleene Klass, and every note was recorded so you can relive all the magic of the evening on Friday 20 October at 8pm, and afterwards on Global Player.
