What a concert evening! It opens with Beethoven’s magnificent Prometheus Overture, dedicated to the titan who gave fire to mankind and thus sparked the dawn of civilisation. As the finale: Tchaikovsky’s overwhelming »Pathétique« Symphony, its mysterious aura made even more poignant by the composer’s sudden and unexplained death just days after the premiere. In between, the most brilliant of them all: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Rising star Alexander Malofeev brings every nuance of his dramatic D minor Piano Concerto to life – joined on stage by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of the fantastic Karina Canellakis.
