Elgar’s Violin Concerto is one of the most remarkable and distinctive concertos in the repertoire. Here the soloist is Vilde Frang, whose “exquisite tonal subtlety” is the perfect match for this sublime work.
It is contrasted with the tour de force of Sibelius’ First Symphony, written at the turn of the twentieth century, the piece with which he achieved his international breakthrough.
The LSO is conducted by its Chief Conductor Designate Antonio Pappano.
The LSO would like to thank Charles & Pascale Clark for kindly supporting this concert.
