The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Benjamin Grosvenor unlock the majesty and beauty of Mozart’s 21st Piano Concerto.

With a shattering fanfare, Tchaikovsky lets fly with a symphony in which he poured out his soul: a no-holds-barred autobiography, told in music of raw emotion and dazzling colour.

It’s a gripping showcase for the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s dynamic Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis, who opens the concert with Sibelius’s evocative tale from the dark forests of Finnish legend, before joining much-loved British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor in the majesty and beauty of Mozart’s 21st Piano Concerto.
