Intérprete: Tasmin Little

Little had planned to quit in August, but Covid-19 threw all her concert plans into disarray, but last night took a significant step towards the exit, bidding farewell to London’s Southbank Centre.

Tasmin Little's farewell tour yields memorable Bruch in Singapore, with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra led by Gerard Schwarz.

Big sounds were on display as Christoph König and the RPO powered through Rachmaninov and Wagner, with a measured and flowing Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto from Tasmin Little.

Despite the burbling streams with which Smetana's Vltava trickles into life, this was no pastoral stroll on the gentle slopes of Bohemia, Hungary and Poland.

Three English composers receive fine performances from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

The final pair of Sibelius symphonies is memorably performed by the LPO under Osmo Vänskä, with Tasmin Little as the authoritative soloist in Walton's violin concerto.

Competitions are a tangible goal for the young musician, so choose wisely, don't be disheartened and keep practising...
