Even by Richard Strauss’s standards, the fanfares that open Also Sprach Zarathustra represent a statement of intent – the sunrise of a new era, expressed with world-shaking grandeur and assurance. This was the first concert that Antonio Pappano conducted with the LSO after his appointment as the orchestra’s chief conductor-designate, and the energy – as well as the ambition – is unmistakable. Before the Strauss, a Liszt rarity from the brilliant Alice Sara Ott and a novelty from one of Britain’s most talked-about young composers complete a programme aglow with Pappano’s very personal brand of musical storytelling.
