Wagner: Tristan and Isolde

The Concert Wagner plunges the depths and rises to ecstatic heights in one of the greatest and most intense of operatic love stories. The Music Based on a medieval tale, Tristan and Isolde is told through music that seems to transcend time and space. Wallow in the heady, ambiguous harmonies and drifting melodies that set Wagner’s opera apart as one of the most progressive of its day. The plot, in which the two characters fall obsessively in love after drinking a potion, is simple. But it enables listeners to concentrate on what is essentially a huge symphonic opera and arguably music’s most sensual experience. The Performers Sir Antonio Pappano is one of the world’s foremost Wagner conductors – together with world-class soloists and the LSO, this concert performance will be one to remember. Read the Concert Programme Tristan and Isolde changed me as a musician forever. Sir Antonio Pappano The work of the Chief Conductor with the LSO is generously supported by Alex & Elena Gerko, and members of the Chief Conductor’s Circle.

On Tour in Ljubljana

The Concert Beethoven’s majestic Third Piano Concerto puts the piano in the spotlight, paving the way for Anton Bruckner ’s monumental, visionary symphonic statement. The Music Austrian composer Bruckner may have left his Symphony No 9 incomplete, but it still serves as a summation of his life, heard here in its three-movement form. The overwhelming Adagio stands as the work’s emotional, even religious, heart, while the pounding Scherzo is among the most bombastic and inspiring of anything Bruckner conceived. Mozartian elegance and grace surround Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No 3, a work that nevertheless includes moments of profound beauty, especially in the yearning second movement. The Performers Bruce Liu, winner of the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition and one of today’s most versatile pianists is the ideal soloist for Beethoven’s dignified Piano Concerto No 3. Completed by the LSO and Sir Antonio Pappano who summon the Orchestra’s full might for the symphonic second half.

The Concert Sofia Gubaidulina ’s Concerto puts the viola in the spotlight in a work that slowly builds to an intense, uplifting conclusion, paving the way for Anton Bruckner ’s monumental, visionary symphonic statement. The Music Austrian composer Bruckner may have left his Symphony No 9 incomplete, but it still serves as a summation of his life, heard here in its three-movement form. The overwhelming Adagio stands as the work’s emotional, even religious, heart, while the pounding Scherzo is among the most bombastic and inspiring of anything Bruckner conceived. Sofia Gubaidulina ’s Viola Concerto unfolds as a deeply spiritual journey, balancing earthly darkness with moments of radiant transcendence. Written for the instrument whose ‘mysterious and veiled tone’ she described as an enigma, the work gradually builds towards an intense, uplifting conclusion of striking emotional power. The Performers LSO Principal Viola, Eivind Ringstad is the ideal soloist for Sofia Gubaidulina’s mysterious and ethereal Viola Concerto. Completed by Sir Antonio Pappano who summons the Orchestra’s full might for the symphonic second half.
