London Symphony Orchestra
Wednesday 19 September, 2018
Barbican Hall, London
★★★★★
Janáček: Sinfonietta, Op. 60
Szymanowski: Violin Concerto No.1 Op. 35
Sibelius: Symphony No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 82
'A fine example of live performance in every sense, and it was evident that ... the orchestra was having a ball'.
'Janine Jansen, from the violin’s first solo entry, was in command of this tricky piece', with 'impressive focus and intensity of tone'.
'Rattle and the LSO ... gave this a freshness and energetic spirit such that one was made to listen anew throughout'.
'A highly exciting whirlwind of a rendition'.
