Werk: Klavierkonzert, Op. 13

Ein technisch perfektes Tonhalle-Orchester unter Lionel Bringuier fesselt mit Honegger und einem umwerfenden Klavierkonzert Brittens.

Yeol Eum Son’s Britten Piano Concerto formed the evening’s centre of gravity, played with lucid line, structural command and sudden fire. In Brahms’ Second Symphony, Sakari Oramo found conviction, proportion and a warmth that felt earned rather than applied.

In the 50th anniversary year of Shostakovich's death, you'll be hard pushed to hear a more thrilling rendition of the Tenth Symphony.
