Summary
Dima Slobodeniouk leads the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, where pianist Kirill Gerstein joins for two Beethoven concertos alongside orchestral works by Richard Strauss.
Why it's fantastic
This evening offers a rare glimpse into the teenage mind of a genius through a piano concerto written when Beethoven was just thirteen. Watching Kirill Gerstein navigate these youthful melodies alongside the composer’s moody, dramatic third concerto provides a fascinating contrast before the lush, cinematic sweep of Strauss takes over.
