Yeol Eum Son plays Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto

“A dazzling tour de force” was how The Scotsman described a solo recital by Yeol Eum Son – going on to praise her “vital emotional connection with the music”. You can’t have missed the buzz around this remarkable Korean pianist; now hear her for yourself, as she joins conductor Jonathon Heyward and the full BBC Symphony Orchestra in Prokofiev’s ferocious Second Piano Concerto. Few living pianists play it better.

And it’s Heyward’s debut appearance with the BBC SO too, and everything about this concert promises to be electrifying – whether Respighi’s teeming, Technicolor musical postcards from Rome, or a striking new work by the American composer James Lee III. Inspired by Biblical visions and the wonders of astronomy, it’s caused quite a sensation in the USA. You’re about to discover why.
