Dvo艡谩k, Tippett and Beethoven

Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra are joined by Peter Donohoe for Tippett's Piano Concerto. Dvorak's Slavonic Dances and Beethoven's Symphony No 5 complete the bill.

Simon Rattle and the LSO begin their programme with Dvo艡谩k's delightful, folk-inflected Slavonic Dances and end it with Beethoven's iconic Symphony No. 5 whose dramatic darkness-to-light, triumph-over-fate journey set a template for generations of composers to come. In between, Rattle is joined by old friend and long-time collaborator Peter Donohoe for a rare performance of Tippett's shimmering and magical Piano Concerto.

Recorded earlier this week at LSO St Luke's and introduced by Martin Handley
