Performer: Stanisław Skrowaczewski

The nonagenarian Stanisⱡaw Skrowaczewski with the London Philharmonic Orchestra perform one of Bruckner’s greatest works, his Fifth Symphony.

Stanisław Skrowaczewski makes a triumphant return to the Hallé to conduct Brahms, Schumann and Weber of supreme logic and coherence

Benjamin Beilman's radiant Mendelssohn preceded Skrowaczewski and the LPO making a magnificent case for Bruckner's third version of his Symphony no. 3 in D minor at the Souhthbank Centre, London.

In 1930 a seven-year-old boy was walking along a street in the misty city of Lwów (then Poland, now Ukraine) when he heard music coming from an open window: He was transfixed: “I was in a trance. I was in heaven – the world didn’t exist for me.” So shattered was he by the experience that he fell ill with a fever.
