Performer: Peter Donohoe

Betsy Jolas delivers a farewell gift – at 96, her own final orchestral work – to Sir Simon Rattle on the occasion of his final Barbican concerts as the LSO's Music Director. 

Vladimir Jurowski and the LPO reaffirm their credentials in Shostakovich, while Peter Donohoe gives a rare performance of John Foulds' piano concerto.

An intelligently planned and generous programme featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Andrés Orozco-Estrada and Peter Donohoe in two neo-classical works by Stravinsky paired with two German Romantic works.

Understated mastery in Peter Donohoe’s recital of Scriabin, Ravel, Schumann, Mozart and Schubert in Hall One Sage Gateshead.

Alexander Dmitriev and the St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra paraded passionate and colourful Tchaikovsky, while the masterful Peter Donohoe gave a potent and intricate Rachmaninov.

This was an unmissable evening in which Prokofiev’s formidable “War” sonatas were given a rare and unforgettable outing – all three at a single sitting.
