About
Signum’s third disc with the London Chamber orchestra captures more of their thrilling live concerts from their residence of St John’s, Smith Square, London. The London Chamber Orchestra, the UK's oldest chamber orchestra, has nurtured the new and paid homage to the traditional for 88 years. For 22 years, as Principal Conductor and Music Director, Christopher Warren-Green has brought together the inspirational musicians and repertoire for which LCO is renowned. The remarkable acoustic and intimate ambience of St. John's, Smith Square, its London home, enable LCO, the only chamber orchestra resident in London, to give vibrant performances and establish a close rapport with its audiences. The recordings on the LCO Live label, in partnership with Signum Classics, are the result of this happy marriage of orchestra and venue. Featuring renowned soprano Susan Gritton, this disc includes arias from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro and Beethoven’s song Ah! Perfido.
