London Philharmonic Orchestra

the Orchestra takes up its annual residency at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, where it has been Resident Symphony Orchestra for over 50 years.

The Orchestra also tours internationally, performing to sell-out audiences worldwide. In 1956 it became the first British orchestra to appear in Soviet Russia and in 1973 made the first ever visit to China by a Western orchestra.

One of the finest orchestras on the international stage, the London Philharmonic Orchestra balances a long and distinguished history with its reputation as one of the UK’s most forward-looking ensembles. As well as its concert performances, the Orchestra also records film soundtracks, releases CDs and downloads on its own label, and reaches thousands of people every year through activities for families, schools and local communities.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra has recorded many blockbuster film scores, from The Lord of the Rings trilogy to Lawrence of Arabia, East is East, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and Thor: The Dark World.

It also broadcasts regularly on television and radio, and in 2005 established its own record label. There are now over 100 releases available on CD and to download.

Recent highlights include Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11 and Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 under Vladimir Jurowski, and a commemorative box set of historic recordings with former Principal Conductor Sir Adrian Boult.

The Orchestra was founded by Sir Thomas Beecham in 1932, and has since been headed by many great conductors including Sir Adrian Boult, Bernard Haitink, Sir Georg Solti, Klaus Tennstedt and Kurt Masur.

In September 2021 Edward Gardner became the Orchestra’s Principal Conductor, succeeding Vladimir Jurowski, who became Conductor Emeritus in recognition of his transformative impact on the Orchestra as Principal Conductor from 2007–21.

Karina Canellakis is the Orchestra’s current Principal Guest Conductor and Brett Dean is the Orchestra’s current Composer-in-Residence.

In summer 2012 the London Philharmonic Orchestra performed as part of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames, and was also chosen to record all the world’s national anthems for the London 2012 Olympics. In 2013 it was the winner of the RPS Music Award for Ensemble.

The Orchestra is resident at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, where it gives around 40 concerts each season. It also enjoys flourishing residencies in Brighton, Eastbourne and Saffron Walden, and performs regularly around the UK. Each summer

Pieter Schoeman

The London Philharmonic Orchestra is committed to inspiring the next generation of musicians, and recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of its Education and Community department, whose work over three decades has introduced so many people of all ages to orchestral music and created opportunities for people of all backgrounds to fulfil their creative potential.

Its dynamic and wide-ranging programme provides first musical experiences for children and families; offers creative projects and professional development opportunities for schools and teachers; inspires talented teenage instrumentalists to progress their skills; and develops the next generation of professional musicians.

The Orchestra’s work at the forefront of digital technology has enabled it to reach millions of people worldwide. Over the pandemic period the LPO further developed its relationship with UK and international audiences through its ‘LPOnline’ digital content: over 100 videos of performances, insights, and introductions to playlists, which collectively received over 3 million views worldwide and led to the LPO being named runner-up in the Digital Classical Music Awards 2020.

From Autumn 2020 the Orchestra was delighted to be able to return to its Southbank Centre home to perform a season of concerts filmed live and streamed free of charge via Marquee TV.

Leader

Pieter Schoeman was appointed Leader of the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 2008, having previously been Co-Leader since 2002. He is also a Professor of Violin at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.

Pieter has performed worldwide as a soloist and recitalist in such famous halls as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Moscow’s Rachmaninov Hall, Capella Hall in St Petersburg, Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and London’s Royal Festival Hall.

As a chamber musician he regularly appears at London’s prestigious Wigmore Hall. His chamber music partners have included Anne-Sophie Mutter, Veronika Eberle, Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Boris Garlitsky, JeanGuihen Queyras, Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Martin Helmchen.

September 2021 saw the opening of a new live concert season at the Royal Festival Hall, featuring many of the world’s leading musicians including Sheku KannehMason, Klaus Mäkelä, Renée Fleming, Bryn Terfel and this season’s Artist-in-Residence, Julia Fischer.

The Orchestra is delighted to be continuing to offer digital streams to selected concerts throughout the season through its ongoing partnership with Intersection and Marquee TV.

Pieter has performed numerous times as a soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Highlights have included an appearance as both conductor and soloist in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at the Royal Festival Hall, the Brahms Double Concerto with Kristina Blaumane, and the Britten Double Concerto with Alexander Zemtsov, which was recorded and released on the LPO Label to great critical acclaim.

Karina Canellakis Principal Guest Conductor, London Philharmonic Orchestra

Symphony at the Bregenzer Festspiele in the third act of Wagner’s Siegfried. In the past few seasons she has conducted critically acclaimed productions of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Die Zauberflöte and Le nozze di Figaro, David Lang’s the loser and Peter Maxwell Davies’s The Hogboon.

Since winning the Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award in 2016, Karina has become a guest conductor with leading orchestras around the world including the London Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, and the symphony orchestras of Melbourne, Sydney, Toronto, Cincinnati, Minnesota and Detroit. She made an immediate impact on the players of the LPO when she made her debut with them in October 2018 in a concert of Sibelius, Dvořák and Bartók at the Royal Festival Hall. Karina was the first woman to conduct the First Night of the BBC Proms in 2019, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. She was also the first woman to ever conduct the Nobel Prize Concert with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic in 2018.

Karina Canellakis became the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor in September 2020. Internationally acclaimed for her emotionally charged performances, technical command and interpretive depth, Karina has become one of the most in-demand conductors of her generation. She is also Chief Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (RSB).

Already known to many in the classical music world for her virtuoso violin playing, Karina was initially encouraged to pursue conducting by Sir Simon Rattle while she was playing regularly in the Berlin Philharmonic for two years as a member of its Orchester-Akademie. She performed for many years as a soloist, guest leader and chamber musician, spending her summers at the Marlboro Music Festival, until conducting eventually became her focus. Karina was born and raised in New York City.

The 2021/22 season includes concerts with some of the finest European and US orchestras, including her debuts with the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the HR-Sinfonieorchester (Frankfurt Radio), and returns to the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony and Orchestre de Paris. During summer 2021 she made debuts with the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood, the Cleveland Orchestra at the Blossom Festival and the Orchestre National de France at the St Denis Festival, and performed Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Vienna Symphony as the culminating performance of ‘Nine Beethoven Symphonies from nine European cities’ live on the TV channel ARTE.

On 1 December 2021 Karina returned to the London Philharmonic Orchestra to conduct Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10 and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with soloist Stephen Hough, in a concert dedicated to the memory of former LPO Principal Conductor Bernard Haitink. This spring she returns for a programme of Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky and Victoria Borisova-Ollas (19 January), followed by Wagner, Ravel, Scriabin and Lili Boulanger (22 January).

On the operatic stage this season, Karina will conduct a new production of Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with the Orchestre National de France. She enjoys conducting opera-inconcert and will lead the Netherlands Radio Orchestra at the Concertgebouw in Janáček’s Kát’a Kabanová, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic in the second act of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, and the Vienna

In the 2019/20 season he gave solo recitals at Carnegie’s Zankell Hall and London’s Wigmore Hall, and reunited for a European tour with his frequent recital partner, cellist Alisa Weilerstein.

Passionate about contemporary music, Inon has commissioned and performed works by many living composers, premiering pieces by Thomas Adès, Sebastian Currier, Avner Dorman and Andrew Norman, among many others.

The coming season sees his return to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; his debuts with the Liverpool Philharmonic and Montreal Symphony orchestras; and the Pentatone release of his Time Traveler’s Suite album: a programme merging Baroque movements by Bach, Handel, Rameau and Couperin with movements by Ravel, Ligeti, Barber and Thomas Adès to create a unique Baroque-inspired suite, culminating in Brahms’s Variations on a Theme by Handel.

‘One of the most admired pianists of his generation’ (The New York Times), Inon Barnatan has established a unique and varied career, equally celebrated as a soloist, curator and collaborator. He is a regular soloist with many of the world’s foremost orchestras and conductors, and served as the inaugural Artist-inAssociation of the New York Philharmonic for three seasons.

During the pre-pandemic period of the 2019/20 season, Inon performed with the symphony orchestras of Minnesota, Dresden, Barcelona, Stockholm, Ottawa, Innsbruck, Tenerife and Los Angeles; recreated Beethoven’s legendary 1808 concert with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra; and finished recording the complete Beethoven piano concertos with Alan Gilbert and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, released by Pentatone in 2020. When public concerts stopped during the pandemic, Inon recorded concert films and streamed performances with numerous orchestras, including the Boston, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Detroit, New Jersey and San Diego symphony orchestras; conducted Mozart and Beethoven concertos from the keyboard with the Seattle Symphony; performed the US premiere of Matthias Pintscher’s Piano Concerto with the New World Symphony; and gave numerous recitals and chamber music performances online.

The recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant and Lincoln Center’s Martin E. Segal Award, Inon Barnatan is also a sought-after recitalist and chamber musician, and in 2019 he embarked on his first season as music director of La Jolla Music Society’s Summerfest in California, one of the foremost music festivals in the US.

Programme notes George Gershwin 1898–1937

Piano Concerto in F 1925

Inon Barnatan piano 1 Allegro 2 Adagio — Andante con moto 3 Allegro agitato By the age of 21, George Gershwin was already earning himself a reputation as one of the foremost composers of popular song, with a clutch of Broadway musicals and a string of hit songs to his name. He aired much of his early cabaret music at George White’s ‘Scandals’ – a long-running series of renowned revue shows on Broadway – and in 1923 he was approached by its bandleader, Paul Whiteman, with an idea for a new ‘jazz concerto’ to be performed at an all-jazz concert in New York’s Aeolian Hall. Rhapsody in Blue was premiered the following year to huge acclaim. The public adored this ‘new voice’ in American music, and the fluidity with which Gershwin segued between jazz and classical styles.

Walter Damrosch, then conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, was among those in the audience for the premiere, and he wrote to Gershwin the very next day with a commission for a new piano concerto. While the Rhapsody had been composed for Whiteman’s big band (and only later adapted for full orchestra), Damrosch wanted a full-scale concerto for piano and symphony orchestra, and for Gershwin to star as the soloist. ‘Many people had thought that the Rhapsody was only a happy accident,’ Gershwin later recollected.

‘I went out to show them that there was plenty more where that came from. I made up my mind to compose a piece of “absolute” music.’

London Philharmonic Orchestra on Marquee TV • 15 January 2022 • Canellakis conducts Sibelius

Programme notes The Concerto in F for piano and orchestra was premiered at Carnegie Hall in December 1925, with Damrosch at the podium and Gershwin at the piano.

Despite Damrosch’s high hopes, it was not met with the same adulation as the Rhapsody had been nearly two years earlier – Prokofiev went so far as to call it ‘amateurish’. But its lack of immediate appeal has been softened by the reputation it has earned since, and it is now celebrated for its less flamboyant, more earnest musical language. Not that this is apparent from the grand orchestral introduction which, with its pounding timpani and Hollywood-esque flourishes, has all the hallmarks of the grand American style. When the soloist finally enters, it is with a quiet and understated second theme, little more than a syncopated rhythm on a single note. It is a far cry from the dramatic opening entry in the

Rhapsody and seems to make Gershwin’s intentions clear: this is not just a showpiece but a ‘serious’ concerto moulded in the classical style.

While the rest of the first movement flits wilfully between pounding virtuosity and impassioned, sweeping grandeur, it leads to a more restrained and tender slow movement (Gershwin called it ‘poetic, nocturnal’), that pays homage to the American blues. The final Allegro is a glorious musical riot, circling back to the syncopated theme from the opening movement but taking this dramatically up-tempo. Gershwin holds nothing back, flexing his rhythmic muscles and driving the movement forwards at pace towards its dizzying, off-kilter close.

London Philharmonic Orchestra on Marquee TV • 15 January 2022 • Canellakis conducts Sibelius

Programme notes Jean Sibelius 1865–1957

Symphony No. 5 in E flat major, Op. 82 1915

1 Tempo molto moderato – Allegro moderato 2 Andante mosso, quasi allegretto 3 Allegro molto – Un pochettino largamente In the early 1910s Sibelius could add to his own financial and health problems those of his beloved Finland itself.

Russia was strengthening its grip on the province, suspending parliament and attempting to drive out the Finnish language. As Europe slipped towards war, Finland, aligned with Russia, faced mass slaughter and the annihilation of its timber exporting industry. ‘In a deep mire again, but already I am beginning to see dimly the mountain that I shall ascend’, wrote a knowing Sibelius, ‘God opens his door for a moment and his orchestra is playing the Fifth Symphony.’

appears again, returning in another form as the Symphony is injected with optimism by an upwardpining theme – again in the trumpets.

Those gestures sow the seeds for Sibelius’s finale, in which the double basses are soon heard spelling out a fifth that augments as the bottom note drops twice, stepping back up in the manner of an ostinato. Here are the Järvenpää swans. As it’s taken up by the horns, the theme gains the pace and grandeur of flight, like the rise and fall of an avian wing. Suddenly, the music shifts key: Sibelius’s long-held bass note or ‘pedal note’ disappears like the falling away of a runway. The swans – magically, gloriously – take flight.

So, the new symphony was rapidly forming in Sibelius’s mind. Themes included the onset of spring and the spirit of the composer’s country home at Järvenpää. Then, on 12 April 1914, Sibelius witnessed a sight that would affect him profoundly and write the Fifth Symphony’s main theme for him. It was a flock of 16 swans, soaring upwards from the Järvenpää lake for their migration.

‘One of my greatest experiences’, Sibelius wrote in his diary, ‘the Fifth Symphony’s final theme … legato in the trumpets.’

Soon they can be heard in the distance again, returning as if for a last farewell. Once more they soar upwards, cutting through a tangling, churning orchestral texture as if to break free from earthly concerns. Six stern orchestral jabs bid them a final salute.

Programme note © Andrew Mellor

At the time of the Symphony’s Helsinki premiere on 8 December 1915 there were four movements. Sibelius later amalgamated his first movement and scherzo into the opener that was eventually published and that we know now. After the initial, blossoming theme on glowing horns and woodwinds the music gains momentum and folds outwards, the orchestra falling over itself in contrary motion towards the proclamation of a major fourth by the trumpet. The opening motif soon
