‘Magical’. ‘Flawless’. ‘A hypnotic presence at the keyboard’. The critics ran out of adjectives when Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson played at the Royal Festival Hall last year, so we’re thrilled to welcome him back for Brahms’s tempestuous First Piano Concerto tonight. And there’s no letting up after the interval, as Principal Conductor Edward Gardner conducts Beethoven’s ground-breaking and revolutionary ‘Eroica’ Symphony.
