London Philharmonic launches concert streaming

For those of us who can't hear Vladimir Jurowski's intriguing LPO programme on Saturday night live - Gergiev calls over at the Barbican, in a typically frustrating London clash - all is not lost. We'll be able to hear it from 4 October streamed via the London Philharmonic website or the LPO iPhone application. Six more concerts can be heard this way throughout the season.

As they say, there's no substitute for live concerts. But if you can't get to the event, this is a remarkable second best. And since we've been spoilt by being able to listen to every Prom as and when we wanted for a week on the BBC iPlayer, it comes as a much-needed sequel.

Watch Vladimir Jurowski conducting the LPO and soloists in an excerpt from Mahler's Das klagende Lied (YouTube):
