The London Philharmonic Orchestra shines a light on incandescent works by Mendelssohn and Wagner, bookending a world premiere by Vijay Iyer.

Only the young Felix Mendelssohn could have taken a subject like the Reformation and turned it into music as radiant and as stirring as his Fifth Symphony.

And perhaps only Vijay Iyer – described by the New York Times as ‘social conscience, multimedia collaborator, rhapsodist and multicultural gateway’ – could take the stories of Human Archipelago, a book project concerning the entanglement of climate change and forced migration, and transform them into a cello concerto like no other.

Music can do that, and Edward Gardner begins with the Overture to Wagner’s Tannhäuser: an opera whose sensuality shocked 19th-century audiences, by a composer who was forced into exile for his political ideals.
