Go West! Pappano and the LSO head towards the Cornish coast
Dec 16, 2024 · From Salisbury Plain to the Cornish coast via a detour along the Malvern Hills, Sir Antonio Pappano set his compass westwards for this London Symphony Orchestra concert.

Dec 18, 2024 · Some significant names are involved. Speranza Scappucci, taking up the role of Principal Guest Conductor next year, conducted with infectious enthusiasm, brisk and rambunctious in pacing, but lingering over moments where the drama requires it at all the right points.The strings had the right swerve and, a couple of slightly uneven brass moments early on, it was a commendable performance in a ...
