Review: THE LONDON SYMPHONY and PIANIST YUNCHAN LIM at San Diego Jacobs Music Center
What did our critic think of THE LA JOLLA MUSIC SOCIETY PRESENTS THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA at San Diego Jacobs Music Center?
Standing Ovations showed the audience's appreciation of pianist Yunchan Lim in Rachmaninov's second piano concerto and the orchestra's excellence under conductor Sir Antonio Pappano in Mahler's first symphony.
The LSO was last heard in San Diego in 2015 as part of the La Jolla Music Society’s appropriately named Celebrity Orchestra series. That series was discontinued while the Society was busy with the construction of its new home in The Conrad and its subsequent concentration on the best in classical and world music for smaller ensembles.
I have missed the series and hope this concert heralds a return to San Diego with a repeat of performances by such as the LSO, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Dresden Staatskapelle (founded in 1548).
