Tonhalle Düsseldorf

The music

• Sibelius Pohjola's Daughter
• Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto
• Beethoven Symphony No. 7

The performers

• Karina Canellakis conductor*
• Anne-Sophie Mutter violin

The London Philharmonic Orchestra perform at the Tonhalle Düsseldorf.

Anne-Sophie Mutter is one of those rare violinists for whom the term ‘living legend’ is entirely justified. It’s always a special occasion when Mutter plays with the LPO; add Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis’s own irrepressible energy and this performance of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto should be in a class of its own. The celebration continues as Canellakis unleashes the pure life-force of Beethoven’s barnstorming Seventh Symphony.
