Nicola Benedetti and LSO play Mark Simpson and Tchaikovsky
Nicola Benedetti joins the LSO and conductor Gianandrea Noseda to give the world premiere of Mark Simpson's Violin Concerto, followed by Tchaikovsky's final Sixth Symphony.
The London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gianandrea Noseda perform two powerful works, beginning with a world premiere. The Liverpudlian composer Mark Simpson wrote his Violin Concerto for tonight's soloist, Grammy-winning Nicola Benedetti. At once thrilling and engaging, critics described it as 'electrifying' and as having 'visceral energy'.
The second half of the concert, too, packs an emotional punch: Tchaikovsky鈥檚 final symphony, the 鈥楶ath茅tique鈥�, whose angst-filled outer movements flank a lopsided waltz and a glittering march (the 鈥楶ath茅tique鈥� impressed Mahler so much he took it as a model for his own ninth symphony).
Recorded at LSO St Luke's in April and presented by Martin Handley.
