Antoine Tamestit joins the London Symphony Orchestra in Walton's Viola Concerto

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. Today, the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano, performs Gustav Holst’s Jupiter from The Planets, alongside William Walton’s Viola Concerto with internationally acclaimed violist Antoine Tamestit as soloist.
Elsewhere, there is chamber music recorded at Wigmore Hall, where tenor Ian Bostridge and pianist Piotr Anderszewski perform Robert Schumann’s Liederkreis. The programme also includes highlights from the London International Festival of Early Music, featuring music by Jean-Baptiste Senaillé and Pietro Antonio Locatelli.
