Summary
Kahchun Wong conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall in a programme of Ives, Strauss, and Saint-Saëns’s Organ Symphony featuring soloist Iveta Apkalna.
Why it's fantastic
You will recognise the opening growl of the Strauss from its iconic use in 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is the perfect setup for the Saint-Saëns symphony, which brings a massive pipe organ into the orchestral texture for a finale that practically vibrates through the floorboards of the hall.
