Symphony in D minor

The London Philharmonic Orchestra conjures the city of light with César Franck’s towering Symphony in D minor – for decades, one of the world’s most popular classics.

Imagine a Gothic cathedral looming out of the mists. Picture an impressionist landscape beneath pastel skies. And now think of belle époque Paris in all its ritzy, raucous colour.

That’s a very rough idea of what it’s like to hear Franck’s symphony.

Paris-born guest conductor Bertrand de Billy puts it back up where it belongs tonight: the summit of a Gallic-flavoured concert.

The evening begins with Ravel’s haunting evocation of a vanished world and stars the phenomenal Danielle de Niese in Chausson’s ravishing Poème: a flood-tide of sensuous beauty.
