Beethoven never actually named his fifth piano concerto ‘The Emperor’, but the name given to it by his English publisher just seemed to fit. The Orchestra lays down the challenge; the piano takes no prisoners – this is a musical duel on the grandest possible scale, and as the award-winning Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son makes her Liverpool debut, you won’t have heard anything quite like it. Then we’re off into the misty mountains and fairy-tale forests of Bruckner’s huge ‘Romantic’ symphony: conductor Andrew Manze knows the scenic route!
