Summary
Edward Gardner leads the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, pairing Strauss’s Alpine Symphony with Canteloube songs featuring Louise Alder and a new work by Kristine Tjøgersen.
Why it's fantastic
Louise Alder brings a folk-like charm to the sun-drenched French melodies of Canteloube's most famous songs before the orchestra swells for a mountain climb. Strauss uses over a hundred musicians to recreate an Alpine hike, complete with the clatter of cowbells and a cinematic storm that fills the hall.
