London Philharmonic Orchestra
the Orchestra takes up its annual residency at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, where it has been Resident Symphony Orchestra for over 50 years. The Orchestra also tours internationally, performing to sell-out audiences worldwide. In 1956 it became the first British orchestra to appear in Soviet Russia and in 1973 made the first ever visit to China by a Western orchestra.
One of the finest orchestras on the international stage, the London Philharmonic Orchestra balances a long and distinguished history with its reputation as one of the UK’s most forward-looking ensembles. As well as its concert performances, the Orchestra also records film soundtracks, releases CDs and downloads on its own label, and reaches thousands of people every year through activities for families, schools and local communities.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra has recorded many blockbuster film scores, from The Lord of the Rings trilogy to Lawrence of Arabia, East is East, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and Thor: The Dark World. It also broadcasts regularly on television and radio, and in 2005 established its own record label. There are now over 100 releases available on CD and to download. Recent highlights include Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 11 and Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 under Vladimir Jurowski, and a commemorative box set of historic recordings with former Principal Conductor Sir Adrian Boult.
The Orchestra was founded by Sir Thomas Beecham in 1932, and has since been headed by many great conductors including Sir Adrian Boult, Bernard Haitink, Sir Georg Solti, Klaus Tennstedt and Kurt Masur. In September 2021 Edward Gardner became the Orchestra’s Principal Conductor, succeeding Vladimir Jurowski, who became Conductor Emeritus in recognition of his transformative impact on the Orchestra as Principal Conductor from 2007–21. Karina Canellakis is the Orchestra’s current Principal Guest Conductor and Brett Dean is the Orchestra’s current Composer-in-Residence.
In summer 2012 the London Philharmonic Orchestra performed as part of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames, and was also chosen to record all the world’s national anthems for the London 2012 Olympics. In 2013 it was the winner of the RPS Music Award for Ensemble.
The Orchestra is resident at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, where it gives around 40 concerts each season. It also enjoys flourishing residencies in Brighton, Eastbourne and Saffron Walden, and performs regularly around the UK. Each summer

Pieter Schoeman
The London Philharmonic Orchestra is committed to inspiring the next generation of musicians, and recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of its Education and Community department, whose work over three decades has introduced so many people of all ages to orchestral music and created opportunities for people of all backgrounds to fulfil their creative potential. Its dynamic and wide-ranging programme provides first musical experiences for children and families; offers creative projects and professional development opportunities for schools and teachers; inspires talented teenage instrumentalists to progress their skills; and develops the next generation of professional musicians. The Orchestra’s work at the forefront of digital technology has enabled it to reach millions of people worldwide. Over the pandemic period the LPO further developed its relationship with UK and international audiences through its ‘LPOnline’ digital content: over 100 videos of performances, insights, and introductions to playlists, which collectively received over 3 million views worldwide and led to the LPO being named runner-up in the Digital Classical Music Awards 2020. From Autumn 2020 the Orchestra was delighted to be able to return to its Southbank Centre home to perform a season of concerts filmed live and streamed free of charge via Marquee TV.

He is also a Professor of Violin at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance. Pieter has performed worldwide as a soloist and recitalist in such famous halls as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Moscow’s Rachmaninov Hall, Capella Hall in St Petersburg, Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and London’s Royal Festival Hall. As a chamber musician he regularly appears at London’s prestigious Wigmore Hall. His chamber music partners have included Anne-Sophie Mutter, Veronika Eberle, Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Boris Garlitsky, JeanGuihen Queyras, Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Martin Helmchen.
September 2021 saw the opening of a new live concert season at the Royal Festival Hall, featuring many of the world’s leading musicians including Sheku KannehMason, Klaus Mäkelä, Renée Fleming, Bryn Terfel and this season’s Artist-in-Residence, Julia Fischer. The Orchestra is delighted to be continuing to offer digital streams to selected concerts throughout the season through its ongoing partnership with Intersection and Marquee TV.
Pieter has performed numerous times as a soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Highlights have included an appearance as both conductor and soloist in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at the Royal Festival Hall, the Brahms Double Concerto with Kristina Blaumane, and the Britten Double Concerto with Alexander Zemtsov, which was recorded and released on the LPO Label to great critical acclaim.

Vladimir Jurowski Conductor Emeritus, London Philharmonic Orchestra

A committed operatic conductor, Vladimir’s recent highlights include semi-staged performances of Wagner’s Das Rheingold, Die Walküre and Siegfried with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall; Strauss’s Die Frau ohne Schatten in Berlin and Bucharest with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra; Wozzeck, Der Rosenkavalier and Prokofiev’s The Fiery Angel at the Bavarian State Opera; Henze’s The Bassarids and Schoenberg’s Moses und Aron at the Komische Oper Berlin; his acclaimed debut at the Salzburg Festival with Wozzeck; and his first return to Glyndebourne as a guest conductor, in the world premiere production of Brett Dean’s Hamlet with the LPO. He has conducted Parsifal at Welsh National Opera, War and Peace at the Opera National de Paris, Eugene Onegin at the Teatro alla Scala Milan, Ruslan and Ludmila at the Bolshoi Theatre, and Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta and Penderecki’s Der Teufel von Loudon at the Semperoper Dresden, as well as Die Zauberflöte, La Cenerentola, Otello, Macbeth, Falstaff, Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Don Giovanni, The Rake’s Progress, The Cunning Little Vixen, Ariadne auf Naxos and Peter Eötvös’s Love and Other Demons at Glyndebourne Festival Opera.
Vladimir Jurowski became the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Conductor Emeritus in September 2021, following 14 years as Principal Conductor, during which his creative energy and artistic rigour were central to the Orchestra’s success. At the BBC Proms concert with the LPO on 12 August 2021 – his final official concert as Principal Conductor – he received the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal, one of the highest international honours in music.
In the 2021/22 season Jurowski returns to the Staatskapelle Dresden; conducts new productions of Shostakovich’s The Nose and Penderecki’s Die Teufel von Loudun at the Bavarian State Opera; and showcases a wealth of symphonic repertoire from Mozart, Liszt, Enescu and Elgar to Suk, Britten, Marko Nikodijevic and Elena Firsova, with particular focuses on Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Bruckner with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, and Shostakovich and Mahler with the Bavarian State Orchestra.
In September 2021 Vladimir became Music Director at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich. Since 2017 he has been Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra. He is also Principal Artist of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and in 2021 stepped down from his decade as Artistic Director of the Russian State Academic Symphony Orchestra to become its Honorary Conductor. He has previously held the positions of First Kapellmeister of the Komische Oper, Berlin (1997–2001); Principal Guest Conductor of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna (2000–03); Principal Guest Conductor of the Russian National Orchestra (2005–09); and Music Director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera (2001–13).
The LPO has released a wide selection of Vladimir Jurowski’s live recordings with the Orchestra on its own label, including the complete symphonies of Brahms and Tchaikovsky; Mahler’s Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, 4 & 8; works by Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Strauss, Mozart, Vaughan Williams, Julian Anderson and, most recently, Vladimir Martynov’s Utopia. In 2017 the Orchestra released a 7-CD box set of Jurowski’s LPO recordings in celebration of his 10th anniversary as Principal Conductor.
Vladimir enjoys close relationships with the world’s most distinguished artistic institutions, collaborating with many of the world’s leading orchestras including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the Cleveland and Philadelphia orchestras, the New York Philharmonic and the Chicago and Boston symphony orchestras.

Programme notes Brett Dean born 1961
Notturno inquieto (Rivisitato) 2018, rev. 2021 1 L’inizio (Preludio) 2 Notturno Brett Dean’s Notturno inquieto was commissioned and premiered on 14 June 2018 by Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic as part of Rattle’s final concerts in Berlin as the orchestra’s Artistic Director. Previously a viola player with the Berlin Philharmonic, Dean appears to be acknowledging his former colleagues with this work. Starting with one solo viola, then a second, the viola section evokes a scene of nocturnal unrest, which culminates progressively until it becomes overlayed by a wind chorale. With new energy the piece reaches a massive climax, but quickly calms down and ends in a restrained manner, with the music melting away ‘al niente’ – to absolute silence. Tonight’s performance, however, revisits the work by unveiling a new introductory movement, L’inizio, a brief, dark but slowly rising ‘upbeat’ scored for sampled sounds and the LPO’s percussion and double bass sections only. Special thanks are due to LPO Principal Percussionist Andrew Barclay, Co-Principal Double Bassist Sebastian Pennar and sound engineer Myles Eastwood for their assistance in the production of the sampled material. The work’s Italian title is intended as a wink of friendly acknowledgment to its dedicatee, Simon Rattle. During Rattle’s first ever rehearsal with the Berlin Philharmonic as a young guest conductor in 1986, Dean recalls him using an Italian term to clarify his musical intentions, followed by a lot of understanding head-nodding from the orchestra members. This Simon followed up quickly with: ‘Yes, always clearest to say it in Italian ... except maybe in politics!’ Brett Dean

Brett Dean Composer-in-Residence, London Philharmonic Orchestra Australian composer Brett Dean became the LPO’s Composer-in-Residence for three years from September 2020. The Orchestra worked closely with Dean on his opera Hamlet, which was premiered at Glyndebourne Festival Opera in 2017 to great acclaim, winning both the 2018 South Bank Sky Arts Award and the International Opera Award for Best New Opera. During his LPO residency he also takes on the role of Composer Mentor to the LPO Young Composers Programme, providing guidance and expertise to the five rising stars and conducting their annual Debut Sounds showcase.
sampler and tape, inspired by the music of Carlo Gesualdo, that he gained international recognition.
On 16 December 2020 the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Vladimir Jurowski gave the UK premiere of Dean’s work The Players for orchestra and accordion, filmed at the Royal Festival Hall and broadcast on Marquee TV. On 9 February 2022 the Orchestra will give a performance of his Viola Concerto with soloist Lawrence Power, and on 27 April 2022 the UK premiere of his Cello Concerto with soloist Alban Gerhardt.
Dean enjoys a busy performing career as violist and conductor, performing his own Viola Concerto with many of the world’s leading orchestras. He is a natural chamber musician, frequently collaborating with other soloists and ensembles to perform both his own chamber works and standard repertoire, including projects with the Doric Quartet, Scharoun Ensemble and Alban Gerhardt, the Australian Chamber Orchestra and the Australian National Academy of Music. Dean’s imaginative conducting programmes usually centre around his own works combined with other composers and highlights include his appointment as Creative Chair at the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich 2017/18; projects with the BBC Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony, Sydney Symphony, BBC Philharmonic, Gothenburg Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Tonkünstler-Orchester and Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra; and as Artist in Residence with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra.
Brett Dean began composing in 1988, initially concentrating on experimental film and radio projects and as an improvising performer. His reputation as a composer continued to develop, and it was through works such as his clarinet concerto Ariel’s Music (1995), which won an award from the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers, and Carlo (1997) for strings,

Programme notes Serge Rachmaninoff 1873–1943
Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 44 1936
1 Lento – Allego moderato – Allegro 2 Adagio ma non troppo – Allegro vivace 3 Allegro – Allegro vivace – Allegro (Tempo primo) – Allegretto – Allegro vivace
as he finally finished the finale, and the Symphony was first performed on 6 November of that year by the composer’s favoured Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski.
Fate dealt a cruel hand when it pushed into exile a man so filled with love for his native country as Serge Rachmaninoff. The composer fled Russia at the Revolution of 1917 and effectively gave up hope of ever returning. ‘His homesickness assumed the character of a disease as the years passed’, wrote Rachmaninoff’s most famous interviewer, David Ewen, ‘and one symptom of that disease was an unshakeable melancholy.’
The reception was lukewarm, but Rachmaninoff’s achievement in the Third is unquestionably outstanding. With perspective we can hear how he perfects the established hallmarks of his late style: how his tunes have that bit more shape and flair, how thoroughly he understands the qualities of individual instruments, how his orchestration is more delicate and discriminating, how his harmonic language has added pungency and danger, how his counterpoints are more skilful and considered, and how the whole symphonic conversation has become that bit more intense and diverse.
It was a melancholy that seeped into Rachmaninoff’s late orchestral scores, heating their brooding passion and tempering their epic sweep. The inspiration was still Russia, but now the composer was writing of it from the outside – in longing and frustration rather than fascinated wonder. That is felt strongly in the Third Symphony. Not only does it sound more Russian than its two predecessors, it conveys that sense of nostalgia and loss more profoundly through both its aching lyricism and thundering explosions.
What remains from the work’s two predecessors, however, is the use of a pervading ‘motto’ theme employing narrow, stepwise intervals akin to those of a sacred chant. This is heard right at the start of the piece on clarinet, muted horn and muted cello, a gesture described by Russian music expert David Nice as ‘a ghostly reminiscence’. Cellos against gentle woodwind syncopations introduce the gorgeous secondary theme as the tempo eases, but soon the music rediscovers its thrust and becomes more schizophrenic; trumpets throw the ‘fate motif’ back at the orchestra three times and despite the impassioned
Most of the Symphony was written in Rachmaninoff’s villa overlooking Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. The first two movements took shape with relative ease in the autumn of 1935 but Rachmaninoff fretted over the third; it had been nearly three decades since he’d written a symphony, and his two most successful recent pieces – the Paganini Rhapsody and the Corelli Variations – used tunes by other composers. ‘With each of my thoughts I thank God that I was able to do it’, Rachmaninoff wrote to his sister-in-law in June 1936

Programme notes protests of the strings, it wins out – closing the movement in new orchestral clothing.
The struggles Rachmaninoff faced in writing the Symphony’s final movement seem immediately blown away as the movement launches. This is a tour-de-force of melody-propelled dynamism that immediately thrusts out themes before plunging into a rapid fugue heralded by the fate theme. Staggered entries from top-down strings suggest a dance, but for David Nice ‘the dance seems destined to sink in a slough of despond’, compounded by an airing of the plainsong theme referencing the ‘day of wrath’, the Dies Irae. But the dark clouds appear to be banished as a coda full of snappy, lunging brilliance wraps the Symphony up.
Only two movements follow, Rachmaninoff deploying his new trick of placing a brittle scherzo-style passage within his slow movement. A horn plays the ‘motto’ right at the start, accompanied by spread chords on a harp. But it’s a solo violin that introduces the movement’s main theme. This uses a smooth triplet rhythm (three notes in the space of two) that is itself countered by a melody on the flute topped off by a graceful trill.
