Mark-Anthony Turnage, one of the leading British composers of his generation, begins a mini-residency with the London Symphony Orchestra tonight, continuing on Thursday with the word premiere of his orchestral work 'Speranza'. The LSO's Principal Guest Conductor Daniel Harding is joined in this concert by Swedish trumpet virtuoso Haken Hardenberger in a piece described by The Times as 'outstanding: the music begins hellishly but gradually picks up a bluesy swing. I was mesmerised.' Daniel Harding can already look back on a glittering conducting career, yet he is still only in his thirties: he is currently also Music Director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and is a regular guest with the Vienna Philharmonic and the Dresden Staatskapelle. We look forward also to his interpretations of Sibelius' portrayal of the Finnish forest God Tapio, and Beethoven's mighty 'Erioca'.
