Noseda and Jansen

What is lost returns once more in emotive music conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, LSO Principal Guest Conductor.

Prokofiev’s mysterious Seventh was commissioned by the Soviet state radio for children.

Sally Beamish’s concerto begins with two soloists calling to each other across a distance, and explores connection and longing. This delicately nuanced interpretation of the Seventh Symphony forms part of Gianandrea Noseda’s thrilling Prokofiev cycle with the LSO. Distans was written for Janine Jansen and Martin Fröst, designed to make the most of their astonishing abilitie
