Kick-start your evening with a Half Six Fix concert. One piece in a 60-minute concert, introduced by the performers.
The Programme
Catch a Beethoven masterwork in 60 minutes, with an introduction from Sir Antonio Pappano, LSO Chief Conductor Designate. A triumphantly brilliant symphony to open your evening.
At the first performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No 7, the crowd demanded an immediate encore of the astonishingly beautiful second movement. 21st-century listeners may be familiar with its stirring melody from the climactic moment of the film The King’s Speech.
Beethoven himself wrote that this Symphony was ‘one of my very best’. To hear it live is a thrilling experience.
The Performers
Sir Antonio Pappano and the LSO bring out the passion of a piece that brims with feeling.
The notes seem to fly off the page as we are borne along on a floodtide of inspired invention. Beethoven himself spoke of it fondly as ‘one of my best works’. Who are we to dispute his judgement?’ – composer Antony Hopkins
