Summary
Paavo Järvi leads the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, where pianist Benjamin Grosvenor joins for Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto alongside Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor takes on Beethoven’s majestic Emperor Concerto, a work famously written while Napoleon’s troops besieged Vienna. The mood shifts after the interval toward Shostakovich’s Tenth Symphony, a grit-filled musical portrait of the Soviet era that offers a powerful introduction to the darker side of orchestral storytelling.
