Jaap van Zweden conductor
Frank Peter Zimmermann violin
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Not until the upheavals of the 20th century would another composer conceive of a piece so controlled and driven by rhythm as Beethoven did in his Seventh Symphony. Here is a work in which you hear the controlling rhythms in almost every bar, whether in the propulsive energy of the outer movements or in the inevitable tread of the slow march. Beethoven’s most unusual, fascinating and bold symphony is preceded here by the world premiere of the Second Violin Concerto by Magnus Lindberg, just a month after the Orchestra’s performance of his first concerto for the instrument (11 November). Jaap van Zweden takes to the podium for this concert of bold orchestral statements.
John Wagenaar : Overture, Cyrano de Bergerac
Magnus Lindberg : Violin Concerto No. 2
Ludwig Van Beethoven : Symphony No. 7

Carlos Miguel Prieto Conductor
Adam Walker Flute
Today’s concert is set to capture the very best of Finland and of course, Sibelius, as we celebrate what would have been his 150th birthday.
Carlos Miguel Prieto conducts one of Sibelius’s masterpieces, plus a stunning pair of works from living Finish masters. The programme opens with a selection from Sibelius’s Lemminkäinen - the Finnish Karavela myths.
The orchestra also performs Saariaho’s major work for flute L'aile du songe, played today by the talented flautist, Adam Walker. It concludes with the spiritual Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Symphony No. 7 subtitled “Angel of Light”.

BBC Symphony Orchestra
Sakari Oramo conductor
Colin Currie percussion
Chief conductor Sakari Oramo leads the ascent of two great orchestral mountains by Hovhaness and Strauss, which frame a delightful new percussion concerto.
Mysterious Mountain is one of Alan Hovhaness's best-loved works, a symphony of spiritual transcendence and the perfect foil to Strauss's grandly ambitious alpine adventure. Dubbed 'the world's finest and most daring percussionist' Colin Currie is the dedicatee of Switch, a new work from the exciting young American composer Andrew Norman.
Alan Hovhaness : Symphony No 2, Mysterious Mountain
Andrew Norman : Switch
Richard Strauss : An Alpine symphony
