London Philharmonic Orchestra: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini tickets

A symphony of iron and steel: that’s how Sergei Prokofiev described his Second Symphony, and it’s right on the nail – this is music from the machine age, forged in the furnace of revolution.

For an artist as adventurous as LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski, it’s an irresistible challenge.

It’s also a gripping counterpart to Ukrainian composer Anna Korsun’s all-too-contemporary study of an industrial landscape shattered by war.

Expect nature music with a serious bite – but poetry, too, in Anna Vinnitskaya’s interpretation of Rachmaninov’s glittering Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini.
