Concert information
Mozart’s dramatic Piano Concerto No.24, played here by British pianist and Mozart specialist Christian Blackshaw, is an ideal companion-piece for Beethoven’s much-loved (and deceptively relaxed) ‘Pastoral’ symphony. To open the evening, the quiet revolution of Debussy’s sensuous Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune.
