Edward Gardner conducts Mahler’s Symphony No.5 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. 

A lone trumpet sounds in the darkness and Gustav Mahler begins his great struggle from tragedy to triumph – by way of midnight storms, joyous horn calls, and the most tender love letter ever written without words: the rapturous Adagietto. ''The symphony should be like the world'', said Mahler; and with Edward Gardner conducting, Mahler’s Fifth becomes the emotional experience of a lifetime.

Watch Principal Conductor Edward Gardner and the London Philharmonic Orchestra play two great works; Lutoslawski’s Symphony No.4 and Stravinsky’s untamable The Rite of Spring. 

When The Rite of Spring premiered in Paris in May 1913, it started a riot – or so the story goes. Even 109 years on, every performance of The Rite is still an adventure. Expect spine-tingling thrills and explosive playing. It’s a gripping counterpart to Lutoslawski’s atmospheric Fourth Symphony, a late masterpiece from one of Gardner’s favorite composers.

Vladimir Jurowsk conducts Strauss’ Don Quixote and Mozart’s Symphony No.40 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. 

Since 1605, when Cervantes’s tragicomic hero first rode out in search of his impossible dream, the figure of Don Quixote has inspired artists, idealists, and – naturally – composers. Richard Stauss’ spectacular, symphonic retelling complete with sorcerers, knights, windmills that look like giants, and a whole flock of bleating sheep. But first, we open with one of the most well-known pieces in history: Mozart’s dark and stormy Symphony No. 40.
