Spaniard Juanjo Mena conducts four French works, with the odd glance over to Spain.

The surging currents and surface spray of Debussy's La mer stand in total contrast to the punchy, knockabout attitude of Poulenc's acerbic Concerto for Two Pianos.

Ravel's lifelong affection for Spain radiates through every bar of his red-hot Rapsodie espagnole, and to begin comes music by France's precursor to Serge Rachmaninoff, Gabriel Pierné.

His incidental music to Pierre Loti's 1897 novel-turned-play Ramuntcho is full of the passion, fervour and local colour of the play's Basque Country setting.

Supported by Palazzetto Bru Zane - Centre de musique romantique française.

Thrilling French fare from the LPO

Katy Wright, 13th November

The LPO give thrilling performances of colourful French classics, with the mood slightly dampened by an absurd performance of Poulenc's Concerto for Two Pianos.
