鈥淎 dazzling tour de force鈥� was how The Scotsman described a solo recital by Yeol Eum Son 鈥� going on to praise her 鈥渧ital emotional connection with the music鈥�. You can鈥檛 have missed the buzz around this remarkable Korean pianist; now hear her for yourself, as she joins conductor Antonio Mendez and the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra in Prokofiev鈥檚 ferocious Second Piano Concerto. Few living pianists play it better.
And it鈥檚 Antonio Mendez's debut appearance at the Barbican with the 蜜芽传媒 SO too, and everything about this concert promises to be electrifying 鈥� whether Respighi鈥檚 teeming, technicolour musical postcards from Rome, or a striking new work by the American composer James Lee III. Inspired by Biblical visions and the wonders of astronomy, it鈥檚 caused quite a sensation in the USA. You鈥檙e about to discover why.
