Written for a pianist who had lost his right hand in World War One, Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand is a spectacular piece to experience; full of jazz influences virtuosity and flair. Yeol Eum Sum will perform it with her characteristic sensitivity, backed by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Yan Pascal Tortelier leads the Orchestra in a programme culminating in excerpts from Prokofiev's dramatic Romeo and Juliet - the tragic story of star-crossed lovers told just before Valentine's Day.
