For Tchaikovsky, the savage fanfares that open his Fourth Symphony represented Fate – and what follows is a no-holds-barred sonic autobiography, told with surging passion and unforgettable tunes.

Dvořák’s Carnival Overture tells a happier tale – and it’s every bit as colourful. Mozart, meanwhile, never said what inspired his Sinfonia Concertante, but then he didn’t need to. Music speaks louder than words in this heartfelt double-showpiece by a young genius at the very peak of his game. Two award-winning soloists take the spotlight today, as the LPO’s Fellow Conductor Luis Castillo-Briceño conducts a concert in which every note tells a story.
