Tom Redmond presents a concert of Mozart, Beethoven and Debussy given in Liverpool by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Stephen Hough (piano) and Vasily Petrenko.

Exotic climes in tonight's programme, beginning with Mozart's sparkling overture to The Abduction from the Seraglio, whose loud bits ring like the marching of the Turkish military band found later in the opera. Debussy conjures up the sultry warmth of Spain in Iberia, the second in his late orchestral triptych, Images. Then to the sea with La Mer, Debussy's impressionist oil-painting of a work whose iridescent surface hints at the brooding depths beneath. Before the interval, Stephen Hough performs Beethoven's youthful and virtuosic First Piano Concerto, with its distinctly Mozartian moments.
