Romantic Rachmaninov | Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

‘His performance had the power of a healing service. It was truly divine’. That’s how the American piano legend Van Cliburn described Nobuyuki Tsujii, and you can’t have missed the buzz around this phenomenal Japanese pianist, whose smiling virtuosity has won standing ovations from Tokyo to New York. But judge for yourself, as he joins Vasily Petrenko and the Orchestra to scale the supreme peak of romantic piano concertos, Rachmaninov’s mighty Third. You’ll need to cool down after all that passion, and Petrenko has just the thing: the wintry brightness and crisp, fresh melodies of the lovely Winter Daydreams symphony.
