London Symphony Orchestra: Stravinsky, Chopin and Borodin

Romantic colour, virtuosity and sweeping orchestral sound come together in this programme by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, featuring pianist Seong-Jin Cho.

The concert opens with Stravinsky’s Divertimento from The Fairy’s Kiss — a refined neo-Classical homage to Tchaikovsky, rich in charm and subtle quotation. At the heart of the evening is Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2, whose lyrical slow movement ranks among the composer’s most tender and emotionally charged music.

The programme concludes with Borodin’s Symphony No. 2, a cornerstone of Russian symphonic repertoire, overflowing with melodic generosity and rhythmic drive. Together, these works form a richly Romantic journey, presented as part of Seong-Jin Cho’s Artist Portrait series with the LSO.
