Summary
Sir Antonio Pappano conducts the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican, featuring Bruce Liu in Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto alongside Vaughan Williams’s Third and Eighth Symphonies.
Why it's fantastic
Sir Antonio Pappano pairs the haunting, quiet landscapes of the Pastoral Symphony with Beethoven’s moody and turbulent Third Piano Concerto. It is a rare chance to hear the London Symphony Orchestra explore such contrasting worlds, moving from folk-inspired stillness to the vivid, ringing percussion that defines the composer’s upbeat Eighth Symphony.
