George Li, piano
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Vasily Petrenko, conductor

William Walton was the original angry young composer, and his First Symphony is a cry of rage from an age of anxiety, a controlled explosion of anger, ardour and shattering power. There鈥檚 no possible way to follow it, so guest conductor Vasily Petrenko looks back to his childhood in the USSR, and starts the concert with the no-holds-barred romance of Khachaturian鈥檚 famous Adagio. And pianist George Li, a medallist in the 2015 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow, joins them in Tchaikovsky鈥檚 hugely popular First Piano Concerto.
