Glasgow Life Presents
London Philharmonic Orchestra: Mahler’s Fifth
MAHLER'S FIFTH
R Schumann Piano Concerto (31')
Mahler Symphony no5 (72')
Robin Ticciati - Conductor
Francesco Piemontesi -Pianist
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is delighted to welcome the London Philharmonic Orchestra for an unmissable performance of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony. A rare Scottish concert from the world-famous Orchestra.
Robin Ticciati OBE presents Mahler’s blockbuster journey from darkness to light.
A trumpet sounds a fanfare, the orchestra cries out, and Mahler’s Fifth Symphony judders into life. But a symphony, said Mahler, must be like the world; and 70 minutes later the whole orchestra is storming the heavens in triumph. It’s a blockbuster journey from darkness to light, told in funeral marches, Viennese waltzes and of course, music’s sweetest love-letter – the rapturous Adagietto. But Robert Schumann knew a thing or two about love, too, and Glyndebourne Music Director Robin Ticciati is joined by pianist Francesco Piemontesi in Schumann’s heartfelt Piano Concerto – music in which these two artists share a very special rapport.
Uniquely groundbreaking and exhilarating to watch and hear, the London Philharmonic Orchestra has been celebrated as one of the world’s great orchestras since Sir Thomas Beecham founded it in 1932. With every performance the LPO aim to bring wonder to the modern world and cement their position as a leading orchestra for the 21st century.
The LPO’s home is at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, where they’re at the beating heart of London’s cultural life. They can also be found at their resident venues in Brighton, Eastbourne and Saffron Walden, and on tour worldwide. In 2024 the LPO celebrated 60 years as Resident Symphony Orchestra at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, combining the magic of opera with Glyndebourne’s glorious setting in the Sussex countryside.
Everyone will have heard the Grammy-winning London Philharmonic Orchestra, whether it’s playing the world’s National Anthems at every medal ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, their iconic recording with Pavarotti that made Nessun Dorma a global football anthem or closing the flotilla at The Queen’s Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant. And you’ll almost certainly have heard them on the soundtracks for major films including The Lord of the Rings.
The LPO are one of the world’s most-streamed orchestras, with over 15 million plays of their content each month. In 2023 they were the most successful orchestra worldwide on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, with over 1.1m followers across all platforms, and in spring 2024 they featured in a behind-the-scenes TV documentary series on Sky Arts: ‘Backstage with the London Philharmonic Orchestra’.
