Performer: Hong Xu

Many Hong Kong Philharmonic concerts in the 2011-2012 season have descriptions attached to them. The one for Friday was “Story Time.” The stories of the first and last works on the programme, Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov were clear enough; though that of the Mozart Piano Concerto no. 9 in E flat, K271, was a little more obscure.
