Summary
Adam Hickox conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra and pianist Nelson Goerner at the Barbican, featuring works by Lyadov, Mozart, Gubaidulina and the suite from Bartók’s The Miraculous Mandarin.
Why it's fantastic
Mozart wrote this moody piano concerto at the height of his powers, and its dark, restless energy famously influenced Beethoven. This programme balances that familiar drama with shimmering orchestral textures and the frantic, urban intensity of Bartók’s most notorious score, making it a vivid introduction to the power of a full orchestra.
