Summary
Arguably today’s most famous cellist, guest artist Yo-Yo Ma appears with the LPO performing Schumann’s cello concerto, a virtuosic work composed in only fifteen days, filled with glorious and romantic passages. Also on the program are Kodaly’s Háry János Suite and Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, a work for orchestra, boy soprano, and chorus originally commissioned by Chichester Cathedral in southern England.
