Glinka Overture: Ruslan and Ludmila Mendelssohn Violin Concerto Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade
Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos conductor Alina Ibragimova violin London Symphony Orchestra
Glinka’s thrilling overture is said to have been influenced by the
clatter of cutlery the composer experienced at a wedding dinner. Rimsky-Korsakov’s dazzling and oriental-influenced score is based on the
tales of The Arabian Nights, told by the Sultana Scheherazade to her new husband.
Change of soloist and programme Pianist Yuja Wang is indisposed and has had to withdraw from the LSO concert on 25 March. We are most grateful to violinist Alina Ibragimova for agreeing to appear at short notice as soloist for the evening, performing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.
