Welcome to the London Philharmonic Orchestra's September 2008 podcast.
Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski talks about the links between the four works that make up the opening concert of the season on 24 September - Vaughan Williams, Ligeti, Turnage and Stravinsky- and the similarities he sees between Vaughan Williams and Prokofiev. Edward Seckerson also speaks to composer Mark-Anthony Turnage about the new violin concerto that he has written for Christian Tetzlaff and his relationship with the Orchestra.
The podcast closes with an excerpt from the Orchestra's new CD release: Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10 conducted by Bernard Haitink, available to buy online.
