Music from the final stages of the Leeds International Piano Competition.

Leeds International Piano Competition 2015
from Leeds Town Hall

Sarah Walker introduces the first of two Concerto finals, the culmination of this prestigious triennial piano competition. A short-list of 79 of the world's most talented young pianists has been whittled down, through three preliminary stages to just six. These young pianists join past laureates including Murray Perahia, Radu Lupu, Sir Andras Schiff, Mitsuko Uchida, Lars Vogt, Louis Lortie and Artur Pizarro, as they make their bid to win over the twelve-strong jury, chaired by the competition's founder Dame Fanny Waterman, in a performance of a complete concerto. Sir Mark Elder conducts the Hall茅.
