Event Details
BBC SSO Thursday Night Series Schubert's 'Unfinished' and Prokofiev Piano Concerto 3
City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
The brilliant young Russian pianist Denis Kozhukhin, winner of last year’s Queen Elisabeth Competition, begins his traversal of the five piano concertos by Prokofiev. The Third Concerto is the most popular – sparkling with irrepressible wit and laced with beautiful melodies. Young Chinese-born conductor Xian Zhang begins the concert with one of the best loved of all symphonies, and ends the evening with Tchaikovsky’s gloriously affirmative Fourth.
Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
At the start of the orchestra’s Prokoviev Piano Concerto Cycle, BBC Radio Scotland presenter, Stephen Duffy, introduces the pianist who will play all five concertos, Denis Kozhukhin.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the main concert):
Denis Kozhukhin and five members of the BBC SSO play Prokofiev’s Overture on Hebrew Themes, Op.34.
