On Location: The Icelandic Conductor Behind Rosalía's ‘Lux’ | Condé Nast Traveler

"I found the renowned London Symphony Orchestra to be the backbone of Rosalía’s album Lux: under Daníel Bjarnason’s baton the orchestra provides the orchestral foundation that allows the record to move fluidly between pop and contemporary classical textures. Bjarnason, coming from a classical background but comfortable in pop and electronic music, recorded the orchestral parts in London in about a week with Rosalía and her collaborators present each day, and his orchestrating contributes an open, roomy, and genre-crossing aesthetic that helps songs take on aria-like forms and unexpected arcs rather than conventional pop structures." - Megan Spurrell

Attended an LSO concert recently, and it was truly one of the most moving performances I’ve ever witnessed. I was seated right at the centre, and every note surrounded me with clarity and emotion. Even without following every piece by name, the atmosphere was transcendent. One of the highlights was the live premiere of a score from an upcoming Asterix film — I believe it was The Kingdom of Nubia (2026). The conductor introduced it with such passion, and the music, it genuinely touched my soul. It felt like more than just a concert — it was cinematic, immersive, and profoundly peaceful. Highly recommend attending if you ever get the chance. Worth every second.

We attended The Music of Zimmer vs Williams and it was phenomenal!! The 75 piece orchestra even had vocals and played iconic scores composed by the two masters!! The conductor Anthony Inglis was amazing, and his interaction with the audiences was very entertaining!! Loved the whole experience!!

The place is a total delight architecture wise. Details of floor, the organ embedded within the walls, the general feel and sound.

Sunday afternoon family themed concert was great fun for the kids today on Forests and Fairytales. BUT musically a sham sounding like a soup. Some musicians left to go home BEFORE the end. If that goes on any longer this orchestra will just be good for hollywood studio scores. Woe on those responsible.

Fantastic. All around. If you have the opportunity to go, you'd be insane not to!

The LSO as always stunning. Too bad that the greedy corporation behind allows drinks and apparently also crisps into the concert hall to squeeze out the last buck by selling these latter at their bars. The naturally resulting noise ruins completely the experience for any half-serious concert goer and is a huge disrespect for the artists. I have not been to any other major concert hall ouside of this country where drinking or eating is permitted during the performance. It is a very sad sign for the UK culture industry that the commerical interest prevail here.

They never disappoint! We have been to many of their performances and each time was fantastic. seventh symphony Shostakovich and first piano concerto Tchaikovsky were triumph .

'Music moves people so deeply.' Listening to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, the wailing pursue and ferocious rhythm is an emotional and immersive experience-pushing one's boundaries... Compared with Avery Fisher Hall (Lincoln Centre) or Carnegie Hall where New York Philharmonic sits/used to, LSO has his down to earth personality. Despite its capacity of close to 2000 seats, I can often create dialogues with the pipes at the Barbican Hall. Whether appreciating Lang lang, Les Arts Florissants / William Christie or Mahler, it gives one lots of space to imagine and improvise. We can be part of the richness from the strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments. Come join me for the rite!
