For nearly eight decades, the Royal Philharmonic has been considered one of the finest orchestras not only in Britain but also in Europe. Its current Artistic Director Vasily Petrenko, a worthy successor to the ‘holy monsters’ of the podium who led the orchestra in the past, and one of the most sought-after principal conductors internationally, conducts Bartók’s masterful Concerto for Orchestra, a work that generously offers all families of instruments the opportunity to shine as the orchestra’s leading lights. South Korean pianist Yunchan Lim, the youngest winner of the demanding Van Clyburn International Competition, is emerging as a 21st century piano superstar. The up-and-coming soloist leaves judges and audiences speechless with his transcendent performances, which he confirms in every appearance on stage.
