Summary

Sir Antonio Pappano conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony and the UK premiere of Dai Fujikura’s Amber Alchemy at the Barbican.

Why it's fantastic

Sir Antonio Pappano leads a massive orchestral force through one of music’s most profound journeys, moving from a funeral march to a volcanic, life-affirming choral finale. It is a rare chance to hear the sheer scale of the Resurrection symphony alongside a brand new UK premiere from composer Dai Fujikura.
