Edward Gardner conductor
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Edward Gardner conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in two powerful live recordings from the Royal Festival Hall. Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7, a signature work in Gardner and the Orchestra’s repertoire, is captured in a gripping 2022 performance – dark, dramatic and rich with glowing melody. Paired with it is Schumann’s Symphony No. 2, recorded in 2024 – a poignant and personal work born of inner struggle, blending restless energy with radiant lyricism.
