Borodin's Symphony No. 2 performed by the London Symphony Orchestra

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. Framing the programme are two orchestral works inspired by the capital, performed by the BBC Philharmonic: Edward Elgar’s Cockaigne (‘In London Town’) and Eric Coates’s London Again Suite.
Elsewhere, chamber music from LSO St Luke's features internationally acclaimed violinist Alexandra Preucil and violist Antoine Tamestit performing music by Johann Sebastian Bach and Béla Bartók. The London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, also performs Alexander Borodin’s Symphony No. 2.
The programme also includes highlights from the London International Festival of Early Music, featuring music by Georg Philipp Telemann.
