Leeds International Piano Competition 2021

Andrew McGregor and Katya Apekisheva return to the Great Hall of Leeds University in our second visit to the semi-finals of this year's Leeds Piano International Competition.

'The Leeds' has become one of the most comprehensive and exacting piano competitions in the world. As well as solo performances the competitors also have to demonstrate their understanding and skills in performing chamber music. To show this they are joined this year by the members of the Castalian String Quartet, and by violinist Jack Liebeck and the cellist Laura van der Heijde.

Andrew McGregor and Katya Apekisheva present highlights and comment from the Great Hall of Leeds University from the third, fourth, and fifth pianists of the semi-final rounds from this year's Leeds International Piano Competition.

Today, 23-year-old Ariel Lanyi from Israel playing Beethoven, Schumann and Ravel; 22-year-old Elizaveta Kliuchereva from Russia playing Ligeti and Rachmaninov, and the youngest competitor in the competition, 20-year-old Hyunjin Roh from South Korea playing Ligeti and Brahms.
