Sir Simon Rattle is joined by virtuosic soprano Barbara Hannigan for a modernist programme that showcases the immense capabilities of the London Symphony Orchestra At the heart of this concert is The Rite of Spring Once decried it is now a cornerstone of orchestral repertoire and considered by many to be the greatest work of the 20th century Its elemental nature is best summed up by Stravinsky who in an unaccustomed moment of humilty said that he didnt feel he was the composer of the piece but simply the vessel through which it passsed Sir Simon Rattle says Ive been conduting it since I was 19its one of those pieces that reminds you what the shock of the new is about and its still one of the great challenges and one of the great thrills to perform
