Beethoven & John Adams
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]The great James Ehnes joins the London Philharmonic Orchestra for Beethoven’s serene Violin Concerto, before John Adams’ choral symphony Harmonium raises the roof.
‘Wild Nights! Wild Nights! Done with the compass – done with the chart!’
And so, to the words of Emily Dickinson, John Adams’ choral symphony Harmonium lifts off into realms of pure, pulsing bliss.
Conducted by Edward Gardner, this 1980s classic has become something of a speciality for the superb London Philharmonic Choir, and tonight, with the BBC Symphony Chorus joining the fun, it’ll hit new heights of sonic ecstasy.
First, though, a different kind of wonder, as the great Canadian violinist James Ehnes brings all his insight (as well as his gleaming, golden sound) to Beethoven’s serene Violin Concerto.
