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
British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor takes on the muscular energy of the Emperor concerto, a piece written as Napoleon’s cannons echoed through Vienna. The evening closes with a symphony composed just after Stalin's death, offering a raw and cinematic window into a composer finally finding his voice under the weight of history.
