Summary
Vasily Petrenko leads the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, where pianist Eric Lu joins for Grieg’s concerto alongside works by Butterworth and Stravinsky.
Why it's fantastic
Start with the gentle nostalgia of Butterworth before Eric Lu takes on Grieg’s piano concerto, a piece famous for its crashing opening chords and romantic melodies. The evening ends with the shimmering heat of Stravinsky’s folk-inspired suite, which remains one of the most vividly colourful orchestral stories ever written.
