Summary

Gustavo Gimeno conducts the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican, joining pianist Yuja Wang for Prokofiev’s Third Concerto alongside orchestral works by Mussorgsky and Tchaikovsky.

Why it's fantastic

Yuja Wang takes on the famously athletic third concerto, a piece that demands incredible speed and technical precision from its soloist. Between the cinematic thrills of a witches' sabbath and familiar melodies from the world's most popular ballet, this programme offers a perfect introduction to the power of a full orchestra.
