The Concert
A thrilling exploration of orchestral colour, drama, and storytelling, featuring Strauss’ mischievous Till Eulenspiegel, Mozart’s elegant Violin Concerto No 5, and the wild, intoxicating journey of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique.
The Music
The evening opens with Strauss’s Till Eulenspiegel, a playful prankster whose antics end in a dramatic conclusion. Lisa Batiashvili joins the LSO for Mozart’s Violin Concerto No 5, a work of elegance and grace. Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique takes us on a wild, drug-fueled hallucination of unrequited love, culminating in a riotous musical adventure.
The Performers
Lisa Batiashvili, renowned for her exquisite sound, is the perfect partner for Mozart’s concerto, while Sir Antonio Pappano and the LSO bring out the full range of Strauss’s playful storytelling and Berlioz’s dramatic intensity. Together, they deliver a captivating evening of orchestral brilliance.
