About This Event

In his bittersweet Piano Concerto, Britten set out to exploit the piano鈥檚鈥榚normous compass, percussive qualities and suitability for figuration鈥�. The result is a true bravura piece whose razor-sharp edge conceals a gregarious smile.

Alongside the first London performance of Alberto Ginastera鈥檚 very Argentine view of the symphony orchestra comes the inexorable momentum of Schubert鈥檚 most invigorating symphony, his 鈥楪reat鈥� Ninth.
