Work: Symphony no. 4 in F minor, Op.36

Tchaikovsky and Vaughan Williams make rare bedfellows, but Pappano's grip on these disparate scores impresses, with the London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra on wondrous form. 

The Conductor Laureate brings a balletic sense to a programme of Weinberg, Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky that nodded to dancing as a theme.

Mozart's “Elvira Madigan” Piano Concerto is played with grace and style by Benjamin Grosvenor; Andrey Boreyko and LPO gives gripping accounts of Sibelius and Tchaikovsky.
