This was the premiere of Huw Watkins Flute Concerto, commissioned by the soloist, Adam Walker who is the LSO's Principal Flute. In three movements, the piece demands concentration rather than imposing itself on one and I felt I very much wanted to hear it again.
The second half of the concert was Mahler's first symphony, a very lusty piece which, as my neighbour remarked, there was no chance of sleeping through.
