of Stravinsky.

UBS Soundscapes: LSO Artist Portrait
Anne-Sophie Mutter
German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter,
subject of the LSO’s Artist Portrait this
season, is one of the most striking violinists
of her generation: a true pioneer in
championing the work of contemporary
composers, commissioning new violin music
from the leading composers of our time and
devising special violin projects.
Four concerts with Anne-Sophie Mutter:
27 Nov, 30 Nov, 19 Feb and 20 Feb
London Symphony Orchestra
Living Music
Sir Colin Davis: Beethoven Piano
Concertos and Nielsen Symphonies
Beethoven’s piano concertos are among the
great favourites of the repertoire and the rollcall
of soloists who are identified with these
works is a history of performance in our time.
Japanese pianist Mitsuko Uchida continues
to explore their beauty with the LSO and
Sir Colin Davis. Her interpretations of the
Beethoven concertos complement Sir Colin’s
acclaimed cycle of Nielsen symphonies which
he completes in December 2011.
Beethoven and Nielsen concerts with Sir Colin:
2 & 4 Oct; 4 & 6 Dec; 11 & 13 Dec
