The nights are drawing in and the sea’s getting distinctly chilly – what better time for a concert full of summer sunshine from conductor Nodoka Okisawa and the London Philharmonic Orchestra? Ravel opens his book of fairytales, and conjures sounds of pure enchantment. The young Bizet pours all his genius into a symphony that seems to dance and glow with sun-kissed melody (you can tell that this is the composer of Carmen). And the phenomenal 19-year-old violinist Leia Zhu weaves her spell in Prokofiev’s shimmering First Violin Concerto: believe us, it’s going to be magical.
