Tchaikovsky: LPO/Michail Jurowski ****
Royal Festival Hall, 22nd November 2017
With Christmas market stalls already doing a roaring trade along the Thames next to the Southbank Centre, summer seems but a distant memory. However, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, playing under the lengthy baton of Michail Jurowski – Vlad’s dad – gave us a tantalising reminder of the season in the form of Frank Bridge’s brief tone poem Summer, before ending their programme by plunging us into the icy chill of Tchaikovsky’s Winter Daydreams. In such a rousing performance, it’s difficult to understand why the Russian’s First Symphony is so neglected in the concert hall.
