London Symphony Orchestra

Following his successful LSO debut in 2014, Pablo Heras-Casado returns to guide “incandescent” cellist Alisa Weilerstein through her own debut with the Orchestra.

For this occasion Alisa has chosen Elgar’s Cello Concerto – premiered by the LSO in 1919 – a contemplative and elegiac work which laments a lost world after World War I. In contrast Dvorák’s Seventh Symphony is sunny, warm-hearted and lyrical, and full of hope for his Czech homeland. Themes in Tchaikovsky’s Tempest Overture describe sections of the Shakespeare play.

A personal take: Elgar’s Cello Concerto at 100

Bachtrack, 25th October

To celebrate the centenary of Sir Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto we have asked some acclaimed cellists to share with us some of their personal memories connected to this masterpiece.

Mixed Romantic styles, mixed results

David Karlin, 17th January

Alisa Weilerstein's intense, intimate, personal rendering of the Elgar Cello Concerto is the highlight of an otherwise lacklustre concert from Pablo Heras-Casado and the LSO.
