Festival: LSO International Violin Festival

Fire and ice. When the cool, steely tone of Joshua Bell ‘Huberman’ Stradivarius met the feverish impetuosity of Pablo Heras-Casado at the helm of the London Symphony Orchestra for the final leg of its International Violin Festival, it wasn’t always a case of opposites attracting.

Virtuosic playing from the LSO under the decisive leadership of Marin Alsop enlivened the divergent soundscapes of Bartók, Korngold and Rachmaninov. 

Mardi 2 juin, Janine Jansen jouait le Concerto de Mendelssohn avec le London Symphony Orchestra, et Daniel harding dirigeait en deuxième partie la Symphonie n°5 de Mahler. Un moment inoubliable, d'une intensité exceptionnelle.
