From Shostakovich to Berlioz, via the Great American Songbook: LSO and three soloists at the Barbican

By Roy Westbrook, 16 June 2019

Philip Cobb’s bluesy inflections turned the dear old Barbican Hall into the coolest nightspot in the capital; they might as well have lowered the lights and served cocktails.

Antoine Tamestit stars in the LSO's Harold in Italy

By Paul Kilbey, 12 November 2013

Violist Antoine Tamestit didn’t seem like much a soloist at the opening of Berlioz’s Harold in Italy on Tuesday night, in Valery Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra’s second performance of this programme at the Barbican. His viola lolling casually at his side, Tamestit gazed pleasantly at the orchestra, nodding along with them from time to time.

The Grand Tour

By Helen Fraser, 22 January 2011

Last night’s concert programme read like the travelling itinerary of a young English aristocrat embarking on the fashionable “Grand Tour” of Europe. The concert began in Spain with Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre, a piece as imbued with the flavours of Spanish folk music as his more famous Concierto de Aranjuéz, also for guitar and orchestra.
