The LSO returns to Brighton Festival under new Chief Conductor Designate Sir Antonio Pappano.
The Programme
The eloquent simplicity and elegiac lyricism of Barber’s Adagio for Strings– a 20th-century icon of American music now universally invoked at times of national mourning – contrasts with the whip-cracking wit and jazz-inflected hijinks of Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major, while Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony sweeps to its triumphant conclusion with one of the biggest ‘big tunes’ in all Russian music. The London Symphony Orchestra under our Chief Conductor Designate, Sir Antonio Pappano, is joined by prize-winning French pianist Bertrand Chamayou.
