Ibermúsica. London Philharmonic Orchestra

The prestigious British orchestra presents a recital on 29 October in the Sala Sinfónica of the Auditorio Nacional de Música, under the musical direction of maestro Edward Gardner, with violinist Julia Fischer on stage as soloist.

The first half of the recital centres on Brahms's Violin Concerto, which takes the listener into the most intimate world of the German composer. The second half takes a radical turn with the Sinfonía Manfredo by Chaikovski, a work with which the composer had a love-hate relationship, going so far as to call it his best creation before later wanting to destroy it.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1932 in London (United Kingdom) by Sir Thomas Beecham as a rival to the London Symphony Orchestra and the BBC. It is one of the most important ensembles in the United Kingdom and has been responsible for performing the music for films as famous as La misión, Lawrence de Arabia or the trilogy of El Señor de los Anillos. In 1993 it was named resident orchestra of the Royal Festival Hall, and it performs regularly at the Congress Theatre, the Eastbourne and the Brighton Dome. Since 2005 it has had its own record label and has released several live recordings of its performances.
