London Philharmonic Orchestra: Romantic Revolution

Two chords slam out, and music is changed forever. Forged by an angry young genius in an age of revolution, Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony electrified the world of music when it was first performed – and it’s still every bit as thrilling today. Under Principal Guest Conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada, it’s a fitting climax to a concert that positively buzzes with romantic energy, from the pageantry and verve of Weber’s flamboyant overture to the summer storms and gypsy dances of Bruch’s ever-popular Violin Concerto No. 1 – performed by a true superstar amongst international violinists, Hilary Hahn.
