The LSO returns to the Ljubljana Festival under the baton of Sir Antonio Pappano, joined by soloist Bruce Liu.
With his innovative approaches to orchestration and programmatic works, Hector Berlioz had a significant influence on Romantic music. His Roman Carnival is an early work, featuring a prominent solo for the cor anglais. Frédéric Chopin combined lyrical, expressive melodies with brilliant piano technique to create a body of work that for many listeners represents the absolute pinnacle of piano music. His Piano Concerto No 1 is an early work, full of emotional fervour. Gustav Holst’s musical journey through the planets concludes the programme, the second of two performances by the LSO at the Ljubljana Festival.
