Inside the packed Usher Hall, we sat in expectancy of the concert that was to unfold – or rather explode – on the stage below.
These were big names on this programme: the LSO, Valery Gergiev and Nicola Benedetti. The stage was set.
This was the first of four Edinburgh Festival concerts by the LSO, filled with the music of Szymanowski and Brahms. The two complemented each other nicely: the dark and dangerous world of Szymanowski and the stately, powerful yet solemn Brahms.
