The second of two outstanding concerts with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra featuring some of the most celebrated works in the Classical and Romantic repertoire.

Grieg’s evergreen Piano Concerto sits at the heart of a symphonic tour of continental Europe. Outstanding British pianist Mark Bebbington recently recorded the Concerto with the RPO (‘a fresh and rewarding performance, with discretion, affection and character’ – Classical Source), and reprises his performance here under the baton of Polish conductor Grzegorz Nowak.

With the youthful exuberance, tenderness and joy of three composers writing during their twenties, the music takes inspiration from the land both at home (Grieg drawing on beloved Norwegian folk melody) and abroad (Mozart seeking patronage in cosmopolitan Paris; Mendelssohn high on Italian sunshine, landscape and art).
