Synopsis

The London Philharmonic Orchestra, under Vladimir Jurowski, presents a concert showcasing three distinct facets of 20th-century music: works by Schoenberg, Holst, and Scriabin. Holst’s *The Planets*, with its grand melodies and striking depictions, remains a beloved staple. Scriabin’s *Prometheus*, in contrast, stands as an unusual musical exploration. And Schoenberg’s *Five Orchestral Pieces*, first performed at the Proms in 1912, pushed the boundaries of tonality to unprecedented levels.
