The LSO’s debut performance at Knight Concert Hall, led by Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano.
Walker’s Sinfonia No 5, ‘Visions’ was his final work, composed when he was 96, and written in response to a shocking act of racial violence. The composer’s outrage can be heard in its steely outbursts, restless energy, and urgent, jagged harmonies. Bernstein has lively and learned conversations about love with writers from ancient Greece in his Serenade for violin and orchestra, and Elgar’s ‘Enigma’ Variations provide a glorious conclusion.
The LSO and Pappano are the perfect team for these dramatic works. Janine Jansen brings her radiant playing to Bernstein’s most passionate music.
