Programme & Tickets
For this special top-class concert, Heidelberger Frühling has invited the greats of the international classical music scene to the Heidelberg Congress Center: The London Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of new chief conductor Antonio Pappano, will kick off a glittering festival of sound with the stormy sounds of Berlioz' overture "The Corsair". The violin virtuoso Lisa Batiashvili, celebrated for her soulful playing, interprets the first violin concerto by the Polish composer Karol Szymanowski, composed in 1916, a refined and sensuous piece of music with ecstatic moments. The highlight is Hector Berlioz's programmatic masterpiece, the "Symphonie fantastique", in which dreamlike and pastoral scenes are combined with the Dies irae parody and a grotesque witches' sabbath to create a grandiose symphonic tableau.

London Symphony Orchestra, Antonio Pappano and Lisa Batiashvili
Antonio Pappano’s connection with the London Symphony Orchestra dates back many years: his first concert with the ensemble was in 1996, and after numerous frequent collaborations, it culminated last year in his appointment as principal conductor. More recent, but no less profound, is his partnership with Georgian violinist Lisa Batiashvili, which began in Rome in 2015 when Pappano was principal conductor of the Orchestra of Santa Cecilia. Having previously explored the great 20th-century violin concertos (from Sibelius to Bartók), conductor and soloist now turn to the last of Mozart’s five violin concertos, framed by two symphonic classics from the early and late 19th century.
