Summary
Yeol Eum Son joins Joshua Weilerstein and the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican for Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto alongside works by Golijov, Schulhoff, and Ravel.
Why it's fantastic
The central attraction here is Rachmaninov’s formidable third concerto, a work of such physical intensity that it famously pushed the composer to his limits. Watching Yeol Eum Son navigate its dense thicket of notes provides a thrilling contrast to the dark, swirling energy of Ravel’s twisted tribute to the waltz.
