Lyadov: The Enchanted Lake
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto no.1

Nikolai Lugansky (piano)
Philharmonia
Vasily Petrenko (conductor)

The Philharmonia, conducted by Vasily Petrenko, performs a barn-storming Russian programme ranging from the escapist, fairy-tale, world of Lyadov's tone-poem to the hard reality of Prokofiev's symphony, composed in the closing days of the Second World War and intended - said the composer - as a hymn to the noble spirit of the free and happy man. In between, one of the most popular piano concerto in the repertoire performed by one of the greatest of the younger generation of Russian pianists.
