A concert by the "Swiss Orchestra" entitled "Unerhört! Schweizer Romantik" was recorded live in Andermatt, in Switzerland's highest-altitude concert hall (1400 metres above sea level), and can be listened to on Swiss Radio for the next four weeks in a programme hosted in the three Swiss languages German, Italian and French:

August Walter: Konzertouvertüre D-Dur op. 16
Marguerite Roesgen-Champion: Concertino für Cembalo und Orchester Nr. 1
Johannes Brahms: Sinfonie Nr. 2 D-Dur op. 73
