The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra's Principal Guest Conductor, Pinchas Zukerman, is both conductor and soloist in this varied programme. Sibelius’ evocative The Swan of Tuonela opens the concert, followed by Bruch’s fiendish Violin Concerto. The evening culminates in two pieces by Elgar: his stirring Sospiri and the quintessentially English Enigma Variations.

RPO and Pinchas Zukerman deliver safe as houses repertoire
David Truslove, 27th April
Assured and mostly rewarding performances from the RPO in standard fare that underlined Bruch’s nobility, Elgar’s masterly orchestration and the originality of Sibelius.
