Details

Part of the BBC Proms. 'The Enigma I will not explain - its "dark saying" must be left unguessed...' So wrote Edward Elgar of his career-making 'Enigma' Variations. What's not in question, however, is the tender playfulness of orchestral variations inspired by the composer's friends and family, including the noble, much-loved 'Nimrod'. Pianist Jan Lisiecki joins Elim Chan and the BBC Symphony Orchestra for Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 - a Romantic tussle between conflict and lyricism. The concert opens with the European premiere of Noriko Koide's silkworm-inspired Swaddling Silk and Gossamer Rain, commissioned for last year's BBC Proms Japan.
