Oeuvre: Im Sommerwind, Idylle pour grand orchestre

Guest conductor Matthias Pintscher pairs Webern's "idyll for large orchestra" with Richard Strauss' Oboe Concerto, featuring an elegant Philippe Tondre as soloist.

Frank Peter Zimmermann dazzles in an angelic tribute, while Alan Gilbert and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester emphasise clarity at the expense of warmth.

As part of the LPO’s 2020 Vision series of concerts, a hotchpotch of works were gathered together to produce a rather mixed bag of an evening.
