Work: Symphony no. 5 in C minor, Op.67

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

Sir Antonio Pappano's skills as a communicator are clear, whether he's speaking or conducting, but it's the depth of the LSO's sound that impresses most as it launches its EIF residency.

Janáček’s From the House of the Dead Suite and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony impress alongside a stunning rendition of the latter’s third Leonore overture.
