Performer: Leif Ove Andsnes

Grieg's Piano Concerto is the highlight of this closing concert of the Oslo Phil's centenary tour, with Leif Ove Andsnes' exceptional technical skill helping to cast the work in a new and flattering light.

Andnes’ rendition was a typical battle between Dionysian and Apollonian, won by the latter.

After a twelve year absence from his schedule, the Norwegian pianist returns to the classic warhorse in a bracing concert given by Concerto Copenhagen. 

The final song seemed to last both an eternity and no time at all.

In a memorable evening, Jurowski and the LPO presented entirely convincing accounts.

An unusual programme at the Musikverein, drawing together works by Mendelssohn, Brahms and a piano concerto by Britten.
