Death and Transfiguration

‘Truly magnificent': Critics have been grasping for words to describe the chemistry between the LPO and our Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis, and from the breathless opening flourish of Strauss’s Don Juan to the majestic climax of Death and Transfiguration you can be certain that she won’t hold back tonight.

At the heart of the concert is the artistry of Cédric Tiberghien, playing Ravel’s extraordinary concerto written for a pianist who’d lost an arm in the First World War. Plus a modern classic by the LPO’s new Composer-in-Residence Tania León – a composer who ‘changed the sound of being American’.
