An Alpine Symphony

Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 19:30
Edward Gardner (Conductor), Alexandra Dovgan (Piano)
Waterfalls, glaciers, an ear-splitting storm – spectacular isn’t the word for Strauss’s Alpine Symphony. No composer tells a story quite like Richard Strauss – or paints a picture in more fabulous sounds. So when he set out to depict the majesty of the Bavarian Alps, the results are … well, hear for yourself as Edward Gardner and a specially-enlarged LPO conquer the summit of Strauss’s mighty Alpine Symphony. Waterfalls, glaciers, an ear-splitting storm – spectacular isn’t the word. But first, enjoy the fresh Nordic melodies of Grieg’s famous Piano Concerto, played by a true rising star, and hear Pasajes by LPO Composer-in-Residence Tania León, which evokes memories of her youth, blending Latin American melodies, Caribbean rhythms and vibrant Carnaval dances.

Marquee TV: Strauss & Brahms

Sun, Feb 23, 2025, 19:00
Edward Gardner (Conductor)
When memories turn into music, the personal becomes universal.Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen rose from the ashes of wartime Germany, asking difficult questions even as it lays bare its heart. Brahms, meanwhile, wrote his Second Symphony on the sunlit slopes of the Austrian Alps – but happy memories have their own truth, and conductor Edward Gardner will bring the same insight and commitment to every note, whether tragic, troubled or glowing with joy.

Symphonie Fantastique

Wed, Feb 26, 2025, 19:30
Edward Gardner (Conductor), Augustin Hadelich (Violin)
Berlioz claimed that his Symphonie fantastique depicted an opium dream, but really he was just high on the sound of a supersized orchestra going for broke.Sex and drugs and symphony orchestras: Hector Berlioz claimed that his Symphonie fantastique depicted an opium dream, but really he was just high on the sound of a supersized orchestra going for broke. Love, witchcraft, severed heads – it’s all here, in psychedelic colours, and you’d better believe that it’s a hard act to follow. That’s why Edward Gardner and the superb violinist Augustin Hadelich are setting the scene with Britten’s powerful Violin Concerto, and with the world premiere of Sphinx by David Sawer – a British composer whose raw imagination can give even Berlioz a run for his money.

Fantastische Sinfonie

Wed, Apr 2, 2025, 19:00
Edward Gardner (Conductor)
Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique" depicts a man's descent into madness due to unrequited love. The symphony features grotesque dreams, death knells, a guillotine, and a witches' sabbath. Berlioz called this masterpiece "Episode in the Life of an Artist," a truly bizarre trip with visions of waltzes, murder, execution, and ultimately, a wild, orgiastic climax. This dark, chilling Romantic symphony, full of extreme sound effects, truly deserves its name.

Mahler 8

Sat, Apr 26, 2025, 19:30
Edward Gardner (Conductor), Sarah Wegener (Soprano), Emma Bell (Soprano), Jennifer France (Soprano), Christine Rice (Mezzo-Soprano), Jennifer Johnston (Mezzo-Soprano), Andreas Schager (Tenor), Tomasz Konieczny (Bass-Bariton), Derek Welton (Bass-Bariton), London Philharmonic Choir, London Symphony Chorus, Tiffin Boys' Choir
Three choirs, eight starry singers and one of the largest orchestras ever put on stage: there’s a reason why Mahler’s Eighth is often called the ‘Symphony of a Thousand’. The form of the piece, setting the candescent medieval poem Veni Creator Spiritus alongside the lyrical last scene of Goethe’s Faust is in itself radical and mysterious.At the core of the piece is a vast choir who seem to represent the whole human race in a passionate prayer for change but Mahler imagined they stood for something even greater: ‘Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound,’ he challenged.‘There are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving.’ Exaggeration? Judge for yourself. Mahler’s Eighth Symphony is quite simply one of the most overwhelming experiences that music has to offer.This concert has been specially developed with the Southbank Centre, with further details to be announced. It is commissioned and produced by the Southbank Centre and London Philharmonic Orchestra
