There's a special dynamic when a composer conducts – as if their music is being created afresh. Thomas Adès has one of his own pieces at the centre of this fascinating evening: the 'concerto for piano' that he created in 2008, and which The New York Times called 'wondrously strange and somehow elemental'. The brilliant Kirill Gerstein helps him bring it to life tonight, throwing new light on two definitive 20th-century classics – Lutoslawski's grand, glittering Third Symphony and Stravinsky running off the leash amidst the glamour of 1940s Los Angeles.
