Benjamin Grosvenor is the soloist in Mozart’s lyrical Piano Concerto No. 21, with its trickling slow movement and quick-witted levity. In the second half, Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC SO in Bruckner’s monumental Fifth Symphony.
Former BBC Young Musician winner Benjamin Grosvenor may only be 26 but this exceptional pianist is an artist of startling emotional and technical maturity. Here he joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo as the soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 (sometimes known by the nickname ‘Elvira Madigan’), with its trickling slow movement and good-humoured buffo levity. Bruckner’s Fifth Symphony, with its astonishing fugal finale, offers a more serious counterpoint in the second half.
