La Mer

London Symphony Orchestra/Susanna Mälkki

,Barbican Hall
Susanna Mälkki conductor

Susanna Mälkki brings together a musical kaleidoscope of folklore, light and the ocean.

Folkloric and expressive melodies lace together Dvořák’s Violin Concerto, performed by multiple Grammy-award winning Gil Shaham. Inspired by filmography, Kaija Saariaho’s ever-evolving soundscape of Laterna Magica creates feelings and imagery that move from one to the next, before the idea can be clasped – just like a dream.

The evening ends as we submerge ourselves in the waves of Debussy’s La mer, and its daring impressionistic harmonies and colourful undercurrents.
