Noseda/ London Symphony Orchestra
Barbican, 28th November 2019
“Russian Roots” is the title of Gianandrea Noseda’s ongoing series with the London Symphony Orchestra, an exploration of Russian repertoire rather than anything to do with the conductor’s – Milanese – origins. Noseda was, however, greatly supported by Valery Gergiev at the outset of his career, invited to become Principal Guest Conductor at the Mariinsky in 1997, where he honed his craft. So there are definitely traces of Russian dirt under his fingernails and it was fascinating to watch him conduct Gergiev’s repertoire.
