Valery Gergiev begins his new tenure with the LSO by presenting his first series focused on Stravinsky, Debussy, Prokofiev, three of the major composers of the first half of the 20th century. Running from January through June, the series is a stimulating combination of familiar and lesser known repertoire, including several works which have never been performed before by the LSO - Prokofiev’s Seven They are Seven, Four Portraits from ‘The Gambler’, October Cantata and Stravinsky’s King of the Stars. The LSO has been the Barbican’s resident orchestra since its opening in 1982 and it has firmly established itself as one of the top five orchestras in the world. 23 Jan 2007 Stravinsky King of the Stars Prokofiev Scythian Suite Stravinsky Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments Stravinsky The Firebird For full details click here 29 Mar 2007 Stravinsky Symphonies of Wind Instruments Debussy La mer Prokofiev Seven They are Seven Debussy Prélude á l'après-midi d'un faune For full details click here 13 May 2007 Stravinsky Oedipus Rex Debussy Symphonic fragments from 'Le martyre de Saint Sébastien' Prokofiev Four portraits from 'Le Gambler' For full details click here 14 May 2007 Stravinsky Symphony in C Debussy Nocturnes Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet For full details click here 13 Jun 2007 Stravinsky Symphony in Three Movements Prokofiev Violin Concerto No 1 Debussy (orch Colin Matthews) Préludes Stravinsky Petrushka For full details click here
