Mendelssohn Hebrides Overture (11’) Mozart Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major TBC Debussy Prelude de l’apres midi d’un faune (10’) Stravinsky Firebird Suite (1919 version) (19’)

Dionysis Grammenos conductor
Lukas Sternath piano

Deep in a kingdom of shadow rules the green-clawed demon king Kashchey – but young Prince Ivan has a gallant heart, and with the aid of the enchanted Firebird, even the darkest spells can be broken. When Stravinsky composed The Firebird he didn’t just imagine a wondrous fantasy world. He let us hear it, too, and today conductor Dionysis Grammenos and the LPO take you to new realms of sound – from Debussy’s sensuous arcadia, to Mendelssohn’s Scottish seascape. Pianist Lukas Sternath, meanwhile, brings all his award-winning artistry to Mozart’s 23rd Piano Concerto. Some say it’s his loveliest.
