Changing Times: Vivaldi, Schubert, Larcher and Reger

Thierry Fischer conducts the LPO in a programme of music spanning three centuries, from the splendour of Vivaldi's Venice to Thomas Larcher's 2014 cello concerto Ourobouros.

As part of Southbank Centre鈥檚 Inside Out season, Thierry Fischer conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a programme of music from Europe spanning three centuries. They begin in the splendour of Vivaldi's Venice, before moving to Austria in 1814, when Europe enjoyed a fragile peace, and the teenage Schubert set to work on his joyful Second Symphony. A century later in 1914, Europe stood on the brink again, and the German composer Max Reger looked back to Mozart for inspiration. Most recently, a century on from Reger, the contemporary Austrian composer Thomas Larcher turned to a myth of renewal in his 2014 cello concerto Ourobouros - the ancient image of a snake eating its own tail as symbol of infinity.

Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre.
