The London Symphony Orchestra - a new era begins
The London Symphony Orchestra plays Nielsen's Helios Overture, Sibelius's Symphony no.1 and a major new work by James MacMillan dedicated to conductor Antonio Pappano.
The London Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano in his first concerts as the orchestra's Chief Conductor.
A new era begins as Antonio Pappano opens the new season with an orchestra he has known for three decades. "The sky is the limit when working with musicians like this," he comments, "It's a gift from heaven."
Their Barbican programme begins in the dark void before the warm sun arises over the Acropolis and ends in a blaze of Finnish bravado. And, to mark this occasion, the orchestra premieres Sir James MacMillan's Concerto for Orchestra, which he dedicates to Antonio Pappano.
Presented by Martin Handley and recorded at London's Barbican Centre on 11 September.
