The young British pianist performs a programme with a dance theme pulsing through it. Chopin’s stately Ballade No. 1 gives way to the dizzying virtuosity of Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales, before the waltz returns, transfigured, in Liszt’s Waltz from ‘Faust’. Mompou’s Paisajes transports us to Barcelona, and Grosvenor also premieres a new work by Judith Weir.

Plunge into a joyous carnival maelstrom with Berlioz’s giddy Roman Carnival overture. The Italian theme continues with Respighi’s Roman trilogy – a vivid picture of life in the Eternal City. Danny Driver joins the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Charles Dutoit in Walton’s Sinfonia concertante – a piano concerto in all but name.
