About this event
Heartbreak, longing and melodies you’ll never forget: the London Philharmonic Orchestra performs great Romantic works by Dvořák and Franck. When it came to emotion, the composers of the Romantic era never held back. Far from home, Dvořák poured all his heartbreak and longing into a cello concerto like no other: a symphony in all but name, as sweet and as stormy as life itself. Meanwhile in France, the Belgian master César Franck created a symphony that’s practically a gothic cathedral in sound – a world of swirling mists and monumental visions, crowned with a melody that you’ll never forget. Guest conductor Marie Jacquot scales its heights tonight, and joins the ‘sublime’ (Gramophone) Kian Soltani in Dvořák’s magnificent Concerto.
