London Philharmonic Orchestra show

Summary: The 2010-11 season of concerts at the Royal Festival Hall has been revealed, and Chief Executive and Artistic Director Timothy Walker introduces the themes and highlights. How does the Orchestra work with young musicians from different musical backgrounds? We present its youth fusion group The Band through interviews with its director Phil Mullen, and some of the players. Plus: this month's release on the LPO Label is a 1989 concert recording of Mahler's Second Symphony with conductor Klaus Tennstedt. Two members of the Orchestra share their memories of working with this legendary musician. (LPO-0044 2 CD set - £10.99)
