Performer: Hong Kong Sinfonietta

A memorable evening with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, who are joined by pianist Alexandre Tharaud for Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major. 

Yip Wing-sie and the HK Sinfonietta show admirable qualities in their Beethoven cycle. François-Frédéric Guy plays a splendid Third Piano Concerto but Anne Queffélec is disconnected from the orchestra in the Fourth.

The Hong Kong Sinfonietta intrigues with the world premiere of Lam Lai's There is no place like home (beta), impresses in Shostakovich’s brooding Chamber Symphony, while Pavel Kolesnikov proves a fine soloist in Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto.

With five of the symphonies, the Violin concerto and four of the piano concertos, Beethoven lovers aren't going to go short in Hong Kong.

Beethoven, world premieres and great concertos: the Hong Kong Sinfonietta's 2019-20 season truly is a season for everyone.
