Beethoven: Overture, Coriolan
Mendelssohn: Piano Concerto No 1
Schubert: Symphony No 9 ‘Great C major’
David Afkham - Conductor
Francesco Piemontesi - Piano
Begin 2013 in the company of two brilliant and charismatic young artists. David
Afkham’s awards, prizes and plaudits make impressive reading: he has captured the attention of musicians and public alike, and makes his SCO debut with a typically ambitious bill. Schubert’s Great C major is not for the faint-hearted; for most of the 19th century it was considered unperformable. Now a firmly established favourite, it remains an epic musical journey. Piemontesi returns to the SCO, a pianist as charming as he is formidable.
