About this concert

Yuja Wang throws herself fearlessly into Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2, a mass of musical fireworks that only the most virtuoso pianists dare to take on. This spectacular music again showcases her enormous versatility.

Not only is Thomas Adès one of the most important composers of our time, but he is also equally successful as a conductor and pianist. It’s for good reason that he’s made several previous guest appearances with us. Now the British sorcerer is back with the Inferno movement from his ballet music based on Dante’s The Divine Comedy – a very colourful journey through hell, co-commissioned by our orchestra. And Franz Liszt is never far away.

Inferno by Thomas Adès is a very colourful journey through hell
