We're remembering Sir Colin Davis today, the longest serving Principal Conductor in the LSO’s history, our President from 2007–13, and head of the LSO family for many years. We remember him still with huge affection and admiration for his musicianship and humanity. Here he conducts Joseph Haydn's The Creation with Sally Matthews, Ian Bostridge, Dietrich Henschel and the London Symphony Chorus. Recorded live at the Barbican in 2007. | London Symphony Orchestra

Weber’s Der Freischütz premiered 200 years ago today. Here’s a clip from a 2012 performance of the piece - one of Sir Colin Davis' last appearances with the LSO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZQwJjTVpvk | London Symphony Orchestra
