Spirits of Delight
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Edward Gardner complete their Elgar symphony cycle with a true British classic: his Second.
‘Rarely, rarely, comest thou, Spirit of Delight!’ The symphony opens on a mighty surge of confidence and pride. Then something happens – the shadows lengthen, and a great artist starts to lay bare his soul with an honesty unprecedented in British music.
Edward Gardner welcomes the extraordinary, multi-award-winning pianist Víkingur Ólafsson to create another classic in a world premiere.
