LPO Principal Conductor Edward Gardner loves the music of Michael Tippett, he says, because of its ‘otherworldly, luminous and elemental’ qualities, which ‘strike right from his inspiration to a listener’s heart.’

In 2022 the LPO and Gardner released a landmark live recording of Tippett’s opera The Midsummer Marriage, which won a Gramophone Award, and on this disc Gardner continues to shine a spotlight on this fascinating 20th-century composer. The exquisite filigree of the Piano Concerto is executed flawlessly by Steven Osborne, while the Second Symphony revels in the newfound clarity, intricate textures and formal rigour that would become the hallmarks of Tippett’s later works.
