Just hours before a concert at the Granada Theater, the London Symphony Orchestra's rehearsal with star violinist Janine Jansen showcased conductor Antonio Pappano's dedication to excellence. Originally scheduled for February, Jansen's illness delayed their collaboration until now. Pappano's direction focused on refining dynamics and ensuring precise coordination between the orchestra and the soloist. These Carnegie Hall performances on March 5 and 6 will mark his first return to New York since taking on the role of chief conductor, symbolizing both professional achievement and personal history.
To an average listener, the performance following the rehearsal would have sounded good, but conductor Antonio Pappano insisted there was more work to be done.
Pappano demanded precision from the musicians, stating, 'You've got to be exactly with me or exactly with her. There's no other choice.'
Pappano's Carnegie concerts with the London Symphony mark a significant milestone, being his first appearance in New York since becoming chief conductor.
Despite the lack of earlier performances, Pappano was satisfied by the end of the rehearsal, ensuring the Serenade was ready for the North American tour.
