Remembering World War I November 2014 was a poignant moment for people across Britain as the poppies at the Tower of London BERNARD HAITINK became a symbol for nations remembering those whose lives were so changed by the outbreak of World War I. MICHAEL TILSON THOMAS The LSO is the only London orchestra still in existence today that was in existence then, being ten years old in 1914; we therefore mark centenary moments until 2018, a century after the war ended. Sally Beamish’s Equal Voices launched our four-year tribute with a work for full orchestra and chorus based on Sir Andrew Motion’s intense poetry that uses extracts from the memoirs of soldiers who fought. Our commemorations this season mark the Battle of the Somme, featuring works by English composers with World War I connections and Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, written for pianist Paul Wittgenstein who lost his right arm in battle. SALLY BEAMISH & SIR ANDREW MOTION Opera in concert with Sir Simon Rattle January 2015 saw two landmark performances by Sir Simon Rattle with the LSO, including a work he champions – Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri – which has paved the way for an exciting On Tour – Australia, United States, annual opera focus for the LSO’s Music Director designate in the next three years.

  • Frédéric Vaysse-Knitter | Biography
    ERIC BENOIST CONSEIL Frédéric Vaysse-Knitter | Biography "[Vaysse-Knitter] is clearly following in the tradition of Chopin, Debussy and Liszt. Starting with the first book of Debussy's Images, he achieved a shocking, almost physical beauty, ringing with boundless clarity. (...) The power, gravitas and harmonic richness of his interpretation [of Liszt's Funérailles] cannot fail to impress, as Vaysse-Knitter elicits from this solemn work a diversity of sound that would rival a grand symphony orchestra. Then finally, there is Debussy's Poisson d’or (...), fluidly played, with the delicate touch of overwhelming virtuosity." Bruno Serrou (June 2016) "Every descent into the self is also an ascension, an assumption, a glance toward the true external reality." This quote from Novalis perfectly expresses the quintessence of Vaysee-Knitter's nature – his playing is characterised by an extreme intensity and sense of vital urgency that grips the listener, as the piano under his hands sings melodies of introspection and transcendence. This duality partly explains the fascination that the music of Karol Szymanowski holds for him: For several years, Vaysse-Knitter has devoted himself to Szymanowski's entire piano oeuvre, as well as to the works of his contemporaries, yet all the while, he has remained particularly attached to modern day music. His Szymanowski solo recording was highly regarded among classical music publications, receiving 4 stars from Fonoforum, 5 stars from Piano News and a "Maestro" rating from Pianiste. Similarly, his subsequent album Szymanowski-Stravinsky (released by Aparté), which he recorded with violinist Solenne Païdassi was awarded a "Choc" by Classica, their highest recommendation, as well as 5/5 by Diapason and 10/10 by Klassik Heute.
