Performer: Eva Ollikainen

Eva Ollikainen conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra and soloist Johannes Moser in the UK premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s BBC co-commissioned Cello Concerto. 

Si la direction d'Eva Ollikainen a déçu dans la Quatrième Symphonie de Brahms, la première partie du concert fut autrement plus réussie, avec un admirable Concerto K 503 de Mozart par Francesco Piemontesi.

Richard Goode delivers a gentile performance of a Mozart piano concerto, whilst Anne Thorvaldsdottir’s dark Archora is given an impressive performance.
