Thomas Adès and the London Symphony Orchestra make the best possible case for SIbelius' lesser played symphonies, the Fourth and Sixth and Johan Dalene turns on the romanticism in Rautavaara.

Fusing the Renaissance polyphony of Les Arts Florissants with the contemporary dance of Compagnie Amala Dianor was an ambitious experiment, which displayed great virtues but didn't quite come off.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra opens its season at the Barbican on top form in Mahler's last completed symphony. 

Sir Antonio Pappano the charioteer whips his forces to attack the fleeing Shostakovich in the Tenth Symphony at the Barbican. 

Prokofiev opens Seong-Jin Cho’s LSO Artist Portrait series, sandwiches between symphonies by Shostakovich and Beethoven. 

To launch his second season with the LSO, Sir Antonio Pappano parades his American inheritance with a blazing evocation of faith, hope and resilience.

Till Eulenspiegel and Ein Heldenleben frame Lisa Batiashvili playing Mozart's "Turkish" concerto.
