‘With desire and passion’, wrote Tchaikovsky over the second movement of his Fifth Symphony, and if you’ve already heard Karina Canellakis in action with the LPO, you’ll already know that she won’t hold back. And if you haven’t? Well, it’s hard to imagine a more combustible mixture than Canellakis, the LPO and the ‘incandescent’ (The New York Times) pianism of the Russian virtuoso Daniil Trifonov: the perfect line-up for Prokofiev’s brilliant, bristling Third Concerto. Add Tchaikovsky at his most expansive, plus Beethoven’s dramatically-charged overture, and this looks set to be another explosive night with Canellakis and the LPO.
