Among the world’s most versatile orchestras, the London Philharmonic Orchestra brings its invigorating perspective to two works inspired by musical heroes. Lindberg’s richly textured Chorale reconceives a Bach cantata theme, and Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini invents 24 glittering piano variations on a melody by the famed violinist. Completing the program is Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony, a profound work that explores sounds of light, darkness, loss and consolation.
