Live from the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

Prokofiev's formidable 2nd Piano Concerto forms the heart of this programme, featuring the youngest winner of the Leeds Piano Competition for forty years, Sunwook Kim. He's won high praise for his remarkable technical ability and for the broad range of expression and colour of his playing. Here he focuses his talents on what is widely regarded to be one of the most technically challenging of all concertos. Also in the programme, Sibelius tone poem En Saga - the composer's "expression of a state of mind", and Elgar's perennial favourite, his musical gallery of "my friends pictured within" - the Enigma Variations.
