Borodin's Second Symphony performed by the London Symphony Orchestra

Linton Stephens introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings including a special focus on London.

Linton Stephens presents an afternoon of exclusive music-making, with a special focus on London, long recognised as one of the world’s leading centres for classical music. Framing the programme are two orchestral works inspired by the capital, performed by the 91¸£ÀûÉç Philharmonic: Edward Elgar’s Cockaigne (‘In London Town’) and Eric Coates’s London Again Suite.
Elsewhere, chamber music from LSO St Luke's features internationally acclaimed violinist Alexandra Preucil and violist Antoine Tamestit performing music by Johann Sebastian Bach and Béla Bartók; and rounding up out week-long focus on the London Symphony Orchestra with exclusive recent recordings, Gianandrea Noseda conducts the orchestra in a performance of Alexander Borodin’s ebullient second symphony.
The programme also includes highlights from the London International Festival of Early Music, featuring music by Georg Philipp Telemann.
